Bug description:
  There are many crash reports in the Ubuntu Error tracker where people
  experience a crash trying to upgrade from Groovy (and perhaps Focal)
  to Jammy due to having an old version of apt installed. While the
  release upgrade process ensures they have the latest version of
  packages installed its possible they don't have -updates enabled or
  their apt list files are out of date. Whatever the reason this can
  keep people stuck on a potentially EoL release.
