[Bug 2092915] [NEW] Update to Ubuntu 24 fails because certain core components are on a list of files that shall not be changed.

[Steffen Mertz]

Public bug reported:

See above, I'm not an expert. I did normal updates to the actual Ubuntu
22 regularly but the upgrade to Ubuntu 24 fails every time. The error
report window does not show any information, it opens but it's empty.
