Great!
according to suggestion given in this forum, regarding
'too many errors'
by upgrading to recent verssion of the UBUNTU
I finally was able to complete the upgrading.

However the system after upgrading:
- got lost connection to the internet
and
- got lost connection to the USB pendrive.
It is good to have two computers connected to the internet. If one crashes you may use the second for searching for help!
