Public bug reported:

Unsure if this should be asked as a support question, but I do not know
how to add logs and debug information to that type of post.

Over the past week, I successfully upgraded 4 Ubuntu computers on 22.04
to 24.04 without much issue. On this computer, I have run into several
issues using do-release-upgrade.

Unlike the other computers, this machine was installed from the 22.04
server iso since I expected to run it as a server. I later installed
some desktop packages, making it similar to the desktop version I use on
the other machines.

One of the issues was as described here:
The package 'update-manager' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.
`https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1f4wkxg/upgrade_2204_to_24041_the_package_updatemanager/`

I had uninstalled `update-manager` with `sudo apt remove update-manager`
which caused subsequent issues, namely with holding broken packages.

Something like this:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/cant-upgrade-from-22-04-to-24-04-complains-about-held-broken-packages/55026/24

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and other similar meta pkgs, but to no avail.
I tried removing ubuntu-desktop^, but that unfortunately removed a significant number of packages I did not want removed, so I restored the entire machine from a backup.

After restoring the backup from a relatively clean slate, I took the following steps:
update, upgrade, snap-refresh, dist-upgrade (removed some cuda packages and nvidia drivers)

Also tried doing the suggestion at
`https://askubuntu.com/questions/1525143/upgrading-
from-20-04-to-22-04-fails`.

`sudo apt install --reinstall snapd`

However, that didn't change anything.

I also took a look at the sources where I assume ppa packages are.

After looking through the sources, I was unsure if any of them were
causing the problem. I just assumed not and did not do anything to try
to change them. Maybe the problem could be here?

I can post post the contents of the /etc/apt/source.list.d files upon
request.

ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-gnome-desktop would be preferred over ubuntu-

Not sure what I should do in my situation.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  Also tried doing the suggestion at

  `sudo apt install --reinstall snapd`
  
  However, that didn't change anything.

  I also took a look at the sources where I assume ppa packages are.
  
  After looking through the sources, I was unsure if any of them were
  causing the problem. I just assumed not and did not do anything to try
  to change them. Maybe the problem could be here?
  
  I can post post the contents of the /etc/apt/source.list.d files upon

Title:
  do-release-upgrade 22.04 to 24.04 failed

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

Bug description:
  Unsure if this should be asked as a support question, but I do not
  know how to add logs and debug information to that type of post.

  Over the past week, I successfully upgraded 4 Ubuntu computers on
  22.04 to 24.04 without much issue. On this computer, I have run into
  several issues using do-release-upgrade.

  Unlike the other computers, this machine was installed from the 22.04
  server iso since I expected to run it as a server. I later installed
  some desktop packages, making it similar to the desktop version I use
  on the other machines.

  One of the issues was as described here:
  The package 'update-manager' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.
  `https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/1f4wkxg/upgrade_2204_to_24041_the_package_updatemanager/`

  I had uninstalled `update-manager` with `sudo apt remove update-
  manager` which caused subsequent issues, namely with holding broken
  packages.

  Something like this:
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/cant-upgrade-from-22-04-to-24-04-complains-about-held-broken-packages/55026/24

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and other similar meta pkgs, but to no avail.
  I tried removing ubuntu-desktop^, but that unfortunately removed a significant number of packages I did not want removed, so I restored the entire machine from a backup.

  After restoring the backup from a relatively clean slate, I took the following steps:
  update, upgrade, snap-refresh, dist-upgrade (removed some cuda packages and nvidia drivers)
