Public bug reported: Upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 failed. Result is a misconfiguration. 22.04 is now in a state that makes it unable to update itself. Upgrade to 24.04 is impossible due to the package “update-manager” being marked for removal. Why?! This keeps happening every time a release upgrade from one LTS to another is available. I don't understand. On some machines the upgrade works fine and on others it crashes and leaves behind a chaos that renders the operating system more or less unusable. This problem has existed at least since Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm really sorry for saying this: How hard can it be to get this under control? So ... I now have a lot of work in front of me trying to fix my now botched installation of 22.04 in order to be able to continue using it.
