Public bug reported:

lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:        16.04

While running distribution upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, the terminal
reported too many errors during upgrade and your system may be in an
unusable state.

Took a look here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtuoso-opensource/+bug/1542453

With fix suggestion:
I removed /etc/init.d/virtuoso-nepomuk
then
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get purge virtuoso-nepomuk
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get upgrade

- Found errored packages by running dpkg --configure -a

- Tried to resume upgrade
apt-get install -f

this (re-)installed a LOT of packages. Maybe not the best idea.

- Tried to configure them
dpkg --configure -a

Nothing, curious..

- Tried to resume distribution upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libfarstream-0.2-5 libpurple0
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libpurple-bin

- Autoremoved obsolete packages
apt-get autoremove

- Might want to consider reinstalling
openvpn

- Doublechecks
apt-get upgrade
 (nothing)
dpkg --configure -a
 (nothing)

apt-cache search wayland
apt-cache showpkg xwayland
apt-cache showpkg grub

- Rebooted, system logged in succesfully. Complained about some crash
errors, so here is one of them reported.
