For the next distro upgrade of any OSGeo VM I'd recommend to draw a
well-defined line.  Rebooting is safe after upgrading ("aptitude
install") apt, aptitude, dpkg plus their required dependencies.  But
everything past this point, including kernel environment and boot
loader, should be done in one single "dist-upgrade" without further
reboot.

Cheers,
