According to the Upgrade Warning that has popped up on my screen after start up for the last couple weeks, KDE Neon 18 will no longer receive updates. Right now I have only one more day to upgrade. So, I backed everything up and clicked on the upgrade notifier. It brought up an upgrade application which trundled away until stopping and giving me an error message:
After researching this error I found what looked like the correct answer and changed the symlink from /etc/accesories (If I remember right) to /usr/bin/python3.7. I restarted and ... the upgrade notifier no longer appears in the system tray! I have no idea what the notifier filename is nor its location.
Then, I tried pkcon update and it finished OK.
And then ran pkcon upgrade-system. Error message:
I feel like kicking some backend!
Now, I'm stuck! I hate it when this happens...
Your (ya'all) indulgence is gratefully requested.

Can not upgrade
Your python3 install is corrupted.
Please fix the '/usr/bin/python3' symlink.
