[Bug 2106202] [NEW] Kbuntu 24.10 do-release-upgrade and Vavle's Stean install produces not booting desktop

[Darin Miller]

Public bug reported:

1. Using a clean and upgraded install of Kubuntu 24.10, install Valve's
Steam from the webesite: https://store.steampowered.com/about/

2. perform do-release-upgrade

3. Note that the "Searching for software" step will be extremely slow
(taking 1 to 1.5 hours in some tests).

4. When the install complete but before rebooting, check the status of
the kununtu-desktop package and note that it is not installed.  If
system is restarted, it will not boot. Installing kubuntu-desktop prior
to rebooting will allow proper rebooting.
