You haven't replied very usefully to some of my suggestions, at least.

One of them was that with all these scripted trickery you had been
using, your /usr/include headers may be out of touch with reality.

Any idea what a possible & useful answer to that question is?

No.  It's time for you to start actually taking some of the suggestions
that you have missed, *and* replying to the questions that have been
unanswered (some time for weeks now), though :)

It is highly unlikely that an upgrade process that works for hundreds of
systems around the world, even through a simple serial console
connection, somehow has decided to mysteriously fail only for you.

It is obvious that you are doing something wrong (or that you have done
something wrong in the past, and are now seeing the consequences).  We
just have to find out what that is.
