If this fails - what I expect - you could do a workaround for continuing upgrade process:

After upgrade has failed, you could edit file /var/lib/dpkg/info/util-linux.postinst and comment out the set -e line, so the script does not exit on error and after doing this, continue with

Terminal

sudo apt-get install -f

and point 3 and 4 described in this post

from the command line

I have manually added 4 symbolic links that were missing for dnsmasq. The links for apache2 were already in place. Running the upgrade still showed some warnings along the way, but everything seemed to run fine ending in no errors. After reboot everything showed as normal.
Anything that I need to check just to be sure that the upgrade worked as expected?
