    You closed the shell that was the parent of your sudo command, so it got re-parented to the process 1 the init. You have two options:

    • Wait till it completes. The init will collect its status.
    • kill(1) it and then maybe restart your upgrade.

    There’s no way to attach a terminal to a process orphaned like that.
