When the laptop needs some manual intervention after a software upgrade, that makes me very unhappy.

Every day is day. Borg Backup! Resistance is futile.

Rebooted my laptop and the same thing happened. Long wait, no progress bar. Switched to the console after a while and found a prompt there asking me for the passphrase to decrypt my disk. I was confused. Checking the basics: sudo apt update. Nothing. sudo apt upgrade. "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." Ugh!? Did that, will reboot again and see whether that fixes my problem.
Doing that while listening to AGNUS DEI, Sacral Choral Music.

@kensanata keep us posted on your progress. I have never ran into that on upgrade before!

@PresGas Yeah, never ran into this using Debian, either. That's the price to pay for living on the bleeding edge, I guess?

@kensanata What version of Debian is #pureos derived from? I looked at the site and didn't quite get a handle on that.

@PresGas There is a /etc/debian_version which says buster/sid.

@kensanata IIRC buster is testing. Wonder why they are combining test and unstable?
