[Bug 2034986] Re: some text became unreadable during a distribution upgrade

[Jeremy Bícha]

Here's a screenshot from today, upgrading Ubuntu Desktop 23.04 to 23.10.
This is the screen where the upgrader asks to remove no longer needed
packages. It makes me very uncomfortable to have this screen be
unreadable.

Bug description:
  I was upgrading from Lunar to Mantic the other day and left a couple
  of applications open during the upgrade process. During the upgrade
  the text in audacious became unreadable (I'll attach a screenshot) and
  I seem to recall the title bar of Firefox being unreadable but the
  contents of web pages still being readable.
