Comment 30 for bug 1670291

Ok so this is still FUBAR but then on a higher level.

The upgrade failed miserably see the attached file.
I was able to ssh into the machine after the upgrade.
ran dpkg --reconfigure -a as suggested see below

then I tried to reboot. which was a big mistake.
when I try to reconnect to the remote machine

ssh: connect to host remotemachine port 22: No route to host

This is terrible. ssh should be like the first thing started always. even grub should have some kind of ssh feature so if the grub menu shows one could fix that remotely.

Now I have a unusable machine and have to go physically to the location to try and reinstall everything by hand.
