Hey Christian, don't spend anymore time on my problem! It isn't a problem since it doesn't "break" anything. Your diligence and expertise is recognized by me and appreciated! (it explained I don't need to worry!)
Have a pleasant Holiday!

But removing it afterwards when it can be removed only ends up breaking slightly different: RET=20 Unsupported command "the" (full line was "The group `libvirtd' does not exist.") received from confmodule. Maybe the sysuser config of libvirtd makes debconf want to remove it, but in the combination we have in place this fails and that makes it fail badly. I need to track this down in more detail, but this week will unlikely find time for it. As a workaround for now, I found that removing/purging libvirt-daemon- system once more passed fine so you can just re-run whatever you did to trigger the purges and the second time it should pass. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Tags added: server-todo -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951903 Title: package libvirt-daemon-system 4.0.0-1ubuntu8.19 failed to install/upgrade: installed libvirt-daemon-system package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 128 Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: upgraded from 16.04? to 18.04 at end of upgrade I got libvirt-daemon-system error 128.
