1.  Somehow, after the update, I had two PPA entries for mozilla team.  
Kenetic and mantic.  Kept the mantic:
     -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10127 May 22 14:07 
mozillateam-ubuntu-ppa-kinetic.sources
     -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9908 May 22 14:07 
mozillateam-ubuntu-ppa-mantic.sources

     That fixed the problem with software updater and also allowed sudo 
apt update work.

2.  Had to install the following packages after the upgrade (before I 
could rebuild GnC):
     libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
     libwebkit2gtk-4.1
     libsecret-1-0
     libsecret-1-dev
     libboost-all-dev

     Took several attempts to get all the missing packages loaded back 
(and a lot of research to get the right names).

3.  I did a git pull before doing the rebuild so moved from 5.6-87 to 
5.6-150.
