[Bug 1849669] Re: do-release-upgrade (19.04 -> 19.10) aborts

[Chippo Elder]

@Brian: I see that my tests aren't really giving you any decent info to
solidly work on. Would you like ssh access to my box (there isn't
anything too private on it)? That way you can do a strace on do-release-
upgrade and other things that are difficult to explain over email to
lusers (like me).

If that's of interest to you, email me a public key and I'll work out
how to configure an incoming port on my girlfriend's router.

  =========================

  I've had the problem for several days, but the system otherwise seems
  completely cool. I keep getting and successfully installing all the
  usual security updates (firefox this morning).

  The only logs which seem relevant are in /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
