TTFN: To add to (and correct) my earlier comments: after the updating shown there, the machine had to be rebooted manually. Checking /var/log/apt/term.log it appears that the upgrade did complete successfully:

But based on past experience I think the same thing will happen the next time there is a version upgrade of systemd. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1803391 Title: Systemd update installation hangs in unattended-upgrades InstallOnShutdown mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1803391/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
