[Bug 2078415] [NEW] Can't upgrade 22.04.4 to 24.04.1 either with do-release-upgrade or update-manager

[Maksymilian Polarczyk]

Public bug reported:

When trying to upgrade 22.04.4 to 24.04.1 either via `do-release-
upgrade` or `update-manager`, the upgrade process fails with:

```
ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package 'update-manager' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.'
```

Similar existing bug report existed:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1985986

but the proposed solution of `apt install ubuntu-desktop` didn't work,
as it's already installed.
