[Bug 1951096] Re: Dist upgrade from focal to jammy fails when upgrading ubuntu-desktop, breaking gnome-control-center

[Brian Murray]

Ah, the upgrade isn't possible because the version of libsmbclient in
Focal(-security and -updates) is greater than the version in Jammy.
Hopefully, the version of samba in jammy-proposed will migrate soon.

** Summary changed:

- Dist upgrade from focal to jammy fails when upgrading ubuntu-desktop, breaking gnome-control-center
+ Dist upgrade from focal to jammy fails to calculate due to libsmbclient being greater in focal

Bug description:
  Yesterday (2021-11-15) I attempted to dist-upgrade my laptop running
  focal to jammy (`update-manager -d`). The upgrade initially proceeded,
  but failed early after apt reported gnome-control-center would be
  broken. I'm attaching the full logs from /var/log/dist-upgrade/.

  Note: I eventually managed to upgrade to jammy by doing all
  intermediate upgrades (focal -> hirsute -> impish -> jammy), and
  overall the process was quite smooth. I didn't have to sort out
  updates breaking installed packages in that scenario, so the issue
  only affects the focal -> jammy upgrade, somehow.
