Good news!  I was able to upgrade on my first machine.

I didn't really know what to do about removing the driver -- in my
searching I got the idea to try "sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx", and
that removed some stuff and after a reboot didn't seem to affect my
graphics situation.  I had expected I might break something, but
everything was working normally. (Is nvidia-glx the proprietary driver?
I'm not even sure I'm using that -- I got this machine from System 76
and have never tinkered with the graphics driver at all.)

Also before trying the upgrade again, I installed a whole bunch of
updates, so I don't know if there may have been a fix in there, but
anyway, now when I ran the upgrade, it worked just fine -- no problems
at all!

Thanks, Everyone, for your help with this.  I'll report back with
results on my other machine.
