"Vultr borked during software update." This is because it runs apt daily on startup. Been bitten by this many times on vultr.

  Ubuntu? I am running Debian servers for over 10 years with apt-upgrade and dist-upgrade; never had any issues. Ubuntu ones had several issues but all fixable with a bit of handywork in rescue mode (if available; if not you are often screwed).

    This is just a quirk on vultr. Not to do with ubuntu or debian. If you create an ubuntu server on vultr, it does an apt-get update immediately. So, if you 'jump' and immediately run apt commands, they fail.

      Ah. Did not know that. That is worth a downvote by the way?
