Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Upgrades from 16.04 to 18.04 might fail if fpc packages are installed, as fp-units-base-3.0.4 Breaks fp-units-misc-3.0.0 (<= 3.0.0+dfsg-2); a leftover from fp-units-base-3.0.0 that should have been removed (all paths in the deb are versioned).

  [Test case]
  1. Extract dpkg status from apt clone system state in comment #1 and run apt dist-upgrade against it in a bionic system
  2. Restore apt-clone and run ubuntu-release-upgrader

  [Regression potential]
  Since all paths are versioned, there should be no regressions.

  [Original bug report]

  it aborts in second step.
