** Description changed:

  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  list files are out of date.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.
