I was able to resolve this by forcing overwrite when installing the two packages (note the order does matter). Given the destructive possibility of this command, I took a backup of the VM prior to proceeding.
---- $ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libpython3.12-stdlib_3.12.8-1+focal1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/python3.12_3.12.8-1+focal1_amd64.deb ---- That appears to have resolved the issue for me. I have done some python development on this machine and it's likely I've done manual Python install(s) on there, not sure if that would've caused this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2091193 Title: Package conflict found during dist-upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2091193/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
