Public bug reported: Hello, after correcting the ubuntu-minimal problem and wrong release in my sources caused by bug 2083575 I started over again, and got new errors, but unfortunately without useful error messages. Further unfortunately, what's left on the terminal is a partial view of the total mess. I saw the "=== ... command terminated ... ===" prompt several times, and tried to restore the window with 'r' a few times, and it ran through this same sequence of output each time, until I got tired of the game and hit 'x' to kill the screen session.
