[Bug 1953524] Re: Upgrade 20.04 to 21.10

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command only once, as it
will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 1953524

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-
bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this
functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.


(are you sure you were upgrading from 20.04 to 21.10?  The current procedure will upgrade you from 20.04 to 21.04 (ie. next supported release) which matches the package you mention, ie. `npm | 7.5.2+ds-1         | hirsute/universe        | source, all`)

I've marked this incomplete as no details were provided; you can change
status back to "New" after running apport-collect.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing
future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your
problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community
http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or
https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

Title:
  Upgrade 20.04 to 21.10

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

Bug description:
  I ran the installation to upgrade using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImpishUpgrades 
  section:- Upgrading Ubuntu Desktops to 21.10
  but got the following message:
  The upgrade will continue but the '/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ZM0HnK/0993-npm_7.5.2+ds-1_all.deb' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

  Now I cant upgrade using the software updater I get the following error
  The package system is broken
  If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
  Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f
  Transaction failed: The package system is broken
   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  node-mkdirp:
