[Bug 1849885] [NEW] Upgrade Kubuntu 19.04 -> 19.10 fails

[Niko Theiner]

Public bug reported:

The updater fails, warns about third party PPAs. I have disabled all
third party PPAs in package sources, but no luck, same error. It says I
should use ppa-purge to remove third party launchpad ppa.

main.log says "Dist-upgrade failed: 'Das Paket »update-manager-core« ist
zum Löschen vorgesehen, wurde aber durch das System gesperrt.'"

"The package update-manager-core is marked for deletion, but has been
locked by the system".

It seems to me that it tries to uninstall update-manager-core, but
can't, because it is on the blacklist. Makes no sense to me, why should
the update-manager uninstall itself during the update?
