would you be open to reinstalling OS, or are you only open to fixes regarding upgrade? because upgrade, even when it succeeded for me, had always resulted in a slower OS in general. since I keephomeand storage separate, reinstalling for me is quicker then upgrading.

According to official Ubuntu wiki, you can also try:
- Open the "Software & Updates" Setting in System Settings
- Select the 3rd Tab called "Updates".
- Set the "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" dropdown menu to "For any new version".
- Press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -c" (without the quotes) into the command box.
Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '18.10' is available.
- If not you can also use "/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk"
Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.

That has nothing to do with what I asked. I know how to ask for updates via a gui, or the command line. But if I do either, it collapses without further explanation.

Have you tried --fix-missing with sudo apt-get update / upgrade / dist-upgrade. It might help in your case.
