Thank you for your input and sorry for my outbreak. It is still unclear
for me why Ubuntu would flag update-manager for removal, though. I think
essential packages should never be flagged for removal. How has that
anything to do with Pipewire. I will purge pipewire then. It's always a
bit of a problem when Ubuntu ages and some packages become ever more
outdated. At some point it is necessary to upgrade certain components to
get the required functions. I will have to look into alternatives.

Title:
  Upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 failed

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

Bug description:
  Upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 failed.
  Result is a misconfiguration. 22.04 is now in a state that makes it unable to update itself. Upgrade to 24.04 is impossible due to the package “update-manager” being marked for removal. Why?!
  This keeps happening every time a release upgrade from one LTS to another is available. I don't understand. On some machines the upgrade works fine and on others it crashes and leaves behind a chaos that renders the operating system more or less unusable. This problem has existed at least since Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm really sorry for saying this: How hard can it be to get this under control?
  So ... I now have a lot of work in front of me trying to fix my now botched installation of 22.04 in order to be able to continue using it.
