[Bug 2080541] Re: Failed upgrade from 22.04.4 LTS to 24.04.1 LTS due to gconf2 "dependency problems".

[Julian Andres Klode]

We have unpacked a new psmisc, but then as part of gir1.2-nma4-1.0:amd64
configuration, the gconf2 triggers are being run, and gconf2 depends on
psmisc, but psmisc has not been configured yet.

This may be an internal ordering bug in dpkg, but also gconf2 should
have been removed, not kept installed.

Bug description:
  During the upgrade from 22.04.4 LTS to 24.04.1 LTS the upgrade failed
  to install gconf2 due to "dependency problems". A full summary of the
  issue is available on stack exchange at the URL
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1525185/failed-upgrade-
  from-22-04-4-lts-to-24-04-1-lts-with-the-error-message-could-not.

  This is the second time I have tried upgrading my system. I prepared
  my system by using the commands sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
  as well as ppa-purge to remove extra PPA's that may have been causing
  the issue.
