Still not worried. If there is such a service, I can sort it out later;
perhaps with the instructions I got long ago during the upgrade for
migrating data bases to the new version.

What does worry me is that the upgrade froze while /var/lib/dpkg is
locked, and I cannot resume it.

I need to know how to resume the upgrade and get to the end.
Right now my system is likely in a mixed ascii-beowulf state, with all
the accompanying version skew.

Will booting it even work?
Will it unlock dpkg? (likely not)
Will I be able to continue the upgrade later?
If so, how?
