If you could get to the command line, you might have checked the logs to see what it was doing. I would an apt update/upgrade/apt-get -f install, to make sure nothing got interrupted.

They could have done that already.

And we’re destroying the environment for it

I can’t think of a single fight he’s won

You heard wrong, unfortunately
