linux-cloud-tools-common package update is failing (see below) because of trying to stop hv-fcopy-daemon.service (and related services) - which are not installed. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 on a real desktop, not Cloud.
Why is the update trying to operate on a package which is not installed?
How can I get around this error?
