I'm on SystemD and bounce between XFCE4 and LXQt. Mine has never done
anything like this in many years of playing with anything Linux.
At this second, I have bits of GNOME installed for themes. In the
past, I've had more than that, but I must have moved away from those
packages. A quick "apt-mark showinstall" says pinentry-gnome3 is the
only GNOME3 named package currently installed.

Once in a very rare while, upgrade will stall until I say yes or no
when it asks if I want to restart exim and a second program that I
can't remember.

I run "apt-get upgrade". It will take me a few days to remember to do
so, but I'll try both "apt upgrade" and dist-upgrade. Dist-upgrade was
already a to-do item. Will be my first use of that one so who knows
what else might possibly go wrong... or not.
Wondering out loud as I exit Stage Right: Is there any kind of
trace/strace or whatever that fancy deal is to see if that outputs
anything?
