[Bug 1841868] [NEW] Upgrade fails on systems with ubuntu-minimal package

[Eric Riese]

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu originally with a server iso in order to have a
custom LVM configuration, then I installed the `ubuntu-desktop` package.
This is my laptop but I did the same thing on my desktop and encountered
the same issue with this upgrade from Cosmic to Disco. That upgrade was
rough. It got stuck so I did a force shutdown and several rounds of
`sudo apt -f install`, `sudo apt dist-upgrade` and reboot.
