Whenever my system tries to update itself after upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10, it fails. I'm not sure what or where the problem is so what should I do to get it to update?

Screen capture of error message.

Running sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade gives several lines of output including this error:

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is masked.

  • Try sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade, you'll get plenty of useful output— copy them here if there's any error.

  • So what does Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit -.mount is masked. mean and how do I get rid of it? I'm getting it on two of my systems after upgrading from 19.04 to 19.10.

Try unmasking this unit like this:

sudo systemctl unmask mount

  • Thank you. On one system, it gives Unit mount.service does not exist, proceeding anyway but the other system is unavailable right now so I'll give it a try there once it is back online after a remodel.
