I tried\u00a0<code>sudo screen -list<\/code> followed by <code>sudo screen -d -r root\/30719.ubuntu-release-upgrade-screen-window<\/code> but that just reconnected me to the terminated screen session and <code>dpkg<\/code> wouldn&#8217;t resume because another process was already running. I had to manually kill all the upgrade processes and the use <code>sudo dpkg --configure -a<\/code> to resume the reconfiguration step. The rest of the upgrade went fine, luckily.<\/p>\n<p>Post-upgrade, I re-applied my changes to the affected configuration files. Additionally, I had to update the Blowfish secret for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phpmyadmin.net\/\">phpMyAdmin<\/a> to fix an error there.
