Today, the same final error message was received, but a shell prompt was obtained for some reason:

There may have been one or more update(s) where somehow I didn't notice or didn't get prompted to update configuration files. The error messages stopped after trying the following to prompt which configuration files needed updating:

sudo dispatch-conf

Four configuration files needed updating by answering 'u' when prompted.

Therefore, this 'bug' may not be one after all, and this post may be marked as 'closed' (or 'resolved'?).
