[Bug 2072385] [NEW] not able to upgrade to ubuntu 24.x04 due to lack of ubuntu-minimal on system

[Gautam Menon]

Public bug reported:

the error message I receive says the following:

After updating your package information, the essential package 'ubuntu-
minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have no official
mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of excessive load on
the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list for the current list
of configured software sources.
