[Bug 2078485] Re: The package 'update-manager' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.

[Celia Muriel]

After running the commands that @juliank recommended on 2 Sep and fixing
the errors I received and posted above, I ended up in a situation where
the UI didn't work. I couldn't log on to the terminal either. It
requested my password, and I introduced it, but I got in a loop. After
validating the password and giving a success message, it asked for the
password again.

I didn't know how to fix this situation. Fortunately, I had a backup
copy of the disk. So, I decided to install Ubuntu 24 from a pen drive
formatted with the corresponding ISO file. See "Install Ubuntu desktop"
(https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview).

It is not an optimal solution, and it may not be an option if you cannot
back up everything. But it worked for me.
