[Bug 1969863] Re: python3-distupgrade and ubuntu-release-upgrader-core attempts to remove kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

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


You've tagged this is a `ubuntu-release-upgrader` issue, ie. related to a `do-release-upgrade` command that upgrades your release to aonther; a command you don't appear to be asking about. 

FYI: `apt upgrade` does NOT perform all upgrades (refer to manual) with
some packages requiring `full-upgrade` (or `dist-upgrade`) where removal
of packages are required. If you have removal of packages; it's likely
the result of 3rd party packages you've installed & thus I'd suggest
seeking support.

No `do-release-upgrade` logs were provided, so I've changed this bug to
'incomplete'.

It could be I've missed something, if so please leave a comment as to
why, but were you trying to release-upgrade to a later release as your
bug filing? as I feel you'd benefit from support & exploration of your
3rd party packages.

If you believe I'm in error, you may return the status to "New" after
leaving a comment explaining why, or you could convert this bug report
into a question (ie. seeking support)
