Should I be concerned?
Did this occur after installing an application then attempting update?
I would try:
sudo rm /etc/lvm
sudo apt install --reinstall lvm2
Yes, in the Software Center I had deleted the flatpak version of Boxes, and attempted to install the distro version (wanted USB redirection). The install of the distro version failed, so I went to the terminal, did a sudo apt update, upgrade, and got my first error. Continued on with an apt install gnome-boxes, got a message that most current version was installed, and got the lvm2 etc error message.
Boxes is installed, and working, so not sure why the software center install failed.
Thanks, gave it a try, no luck.

Let's try
sudo apt purge lvm2 && sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install lvm2
Thanks, that seems to have done the trick
