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

[Maksymilian Polarczyk]

After several tries of purging pipewire PPA with ppa-purge (several
failed attempts yesterday, until it magically worked today, after a
series of blind apt updates, apt upgrades, purges and restarts). It
seems to be working at least, I'm currently in the process of upgrading
the OS on the package installation step. I think it will be smooth
sailing from now on and no need for pipewire and wire plumber PPAs after
the upgrade in the future, we will see. I think there was some update in
this night in repositories which made it work in the meantime.

Title:
  Can't upgrade 22.04.4 to 24.04.1 either with do-release-upgrade or
  update-manager

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

Bug description:
  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:

  upgrader/+bug/1985986

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