    Broken 18.10 upgrade. Package breeze

    Dear all,

    I'm having trouble with my 18.04->18.10 upgrade and I was wondering if you could help.

    While leaving my computer during the update process, I returned to a black screen with the message:

    "The screen loader is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore." Hitting ctl-alt-f2 as it suggested took me to a black screen with no command prompt, so after a while I hard restarted
    my computer.

    I returned and I have been logged in but the desktop is black, none of the menu bars appear, etc. Luckily I can call up a terminal, although I can't play with the windows.

    Trying `apt get upgrade` tells me I have unmet dependencies with breeze. It says the cosmic 18.10 version of its dependencies are installed (4:5.13.5) but the bionic (18.04) updates version is needed (4:5.12.6) [0] But using `dpkg -s breeze` shows me I have the bionic updates version installed.

    Trying to issue `sudo apt --fix-broken install` fails over package breeze. [1]

    Trying to just install breeze doesn't work either. [2]

    I should add that I had certain problems leading up to the install, which may have left my system in some kind of mixed state. After changing from lts to normal and running `do-release-upgrade -m desktop` I was told I didn't have enough space in /boot, so I removed an old kernel to free up enough space. Then do-release-upgrade told me I had packages to install
    first, so I returned back to lts and `apt upgrade`d them. That was well over a gigabyte - which must have been the 18.10 packages since I upgrade regularly. Now /etc/lsb-release says:
    DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
    DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.10
    DISTRIB_CODENAME=cosmic
    DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.10"

    I also tried installing ubuntu-desktop (is that Cannonical's new gnome?) but it gave me errors relating to breeze.

    Help appreciated!
    Thanks
    d

    You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
    breeze : Depends: kwin-style-breeze (= 4:5.12.6-0ubuntu0.1) but 4:5.13.5-0ubuntu2 is installed
    Recommends: kde-style-breeze-qt4 (= 4:5.12.6-0ubuntu0.1) but 4:5.13.5-0ubuntu2 is installed
    kde-style-breeze-qt4 : Depends: kde-style-breeze (= 4:5.13.5-0ubuntu2) but 4:5.12.6-0ubuntu0.1 is installed
    plasma-integration : Depends: breeze (>= 4:5.13) but 4:5.12.6-0ubuntu0.1 is installed
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    Fixed. I manually downloaded breeze and related packages from the Ubuntu package website. Installed them via dpkg. Then `apt dist-upgrade` worked. Phew!
