Upgrade from Beowulf to Chimaera fails

This line means that there are some packages locked and effectively blocking the upgrade. It doesn’t happen on default BOA instances regularly upgraded, though. You should run this command, unlock the packages and run the major upgrade procedure again.

@omega8cc that worked, thanks! For the record, this is what I did after I got the error emails:

server:~# dpkg --audit
The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 grub-pc              GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS version)

server:~# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog dpkg --configure grub-pc

Then waited a couple of hours and I was upgraded to Chimaera.
