[Bug 1885567] Re: Upgrade fails due to broken pagacke colord, package is not installed in the first place

[Marcel Paul Alda]

I figured out the problem, bug can be closed.

Desktop environment was still installed, removed it with

apt-get autoremove --purge $( dpkg-query -l *xubuntu* | grep ii | tr -s
" " | cut -d" " -f2; dpkg-query -l *xfce* | grep 'ii' | tr -s " " | cut
-d" " -f2 )

This fixed my issue as the upgrader no longer tried to install the
package colord.

Sorry for the inconvenience. :slight_smile:

Title:
  Upgrade fails due to broken pagacke colord, package is not installed
  in the first place

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I try to run do-release-upgrade -d on an Ubuntu 18.04 which fails due
  to broken packages.

  According to main.log, the issue is colord. My issue is the lack of
  said package as I have purged it via 'apt purge colord'.

  Yet the issue persist and shows up again after trying to push from
  18.04 to 20.04.
