[Bug 2041707] Re: Phased updates block release upgrades

👍

- launchpad should really get a "like/thumbs up" button, to react to posts without spamming! :D
- The proposed solution sounds good enough for now, release upgrades is probably the most common cause for this issue and the most significant one as it might break the upgrade due to unsatisfied dependencies.

Title:
  Phased updates block release upgrades

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

Bug description:
  I updated my Kubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 using do-release-upgrade. It
  finished 100% successfully. But after rebooting into 23.10, I noticed
  that network-manager was kept back to the 23.04 version due to phased
  updates. Specifically:

  # apt policy network-manager

  network-manager:
    Installed: 1.42.4-1ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2
    Version table:
       1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2 500 (phased 70%)
          500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-updates/main amd64 Packages
       1.44.2-1ubuntu1 500
          500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic/main amd64 Packages
   *** 1.42.4-1ubuntu2 100
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I.e. the phased version (1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2) prevents me from getting
  the current mantic version (1.44.2-1ubuntu1) and I'm stuck with the
  lunar version (1.42.4-1ubuntu2).
