I did an update to Ubuntu 18.04 followed by an upgrade and saw the following error messages:
[CODE]Setting up boinc-client (7.16.1+dfsg+201908161115~ubuntu18.04.1) ...
usermod: group 'render' does not exist
Could not assign boinc user to group 'render'[/CODE]

Everything seems to be working fine. The BOINC client did terminate during that upgrade but a restart worked fine and I rebooted just to make sure.

I assume the errors are ignorable.
