After running sudo do-release-upgrade this morning to upgrade my system from Ubtunu 17.10 to 18.04 LTS, I encountered errors during the upgrade. The trace is too long to post in it's entirety, but here is the part that (to me) looks like the problem:
Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf-2.index...
Errors were encountered while processing:
shim-signed
grub-efi-amd64-signed
Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

Upgrade complete
The upgrade has completed but there were errors during the upgrade process.
I've browsed the forums for solutions and can preemptively confirm that the entries in /etc/fstab are not commented out. cat /etc/fstab outputs the following:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

The system is a dual-booted with Windows 10. Through lsb_release -a I can confirm that my Ubuntu partition did update to 18.04 LTS, but these errors unnerve me and I don't want them causing problems in the long term. Thank you.
I had the exact same error. The solution I found in order to upgrade the remaining last 2 packages was:
I hope it helps.
