[Bug 2112557] [NEW] Unable do deactivate/unistall livepatch and run normal release-upgrade

[Nicolas Farrie]

Public bug reported:

-- using software-manager to deactivate ubuntu-pro and any ESM option ; do-release-upgrade fail with "Après la mise à jour de vos informations de paquet, le paquet essentiel « ubuntu-minimal » n'a pu être localisé" ...
--Then using sys.cmd canonical-livepatch to disable + reboot + snap remove-canonical-livepatch , still failed to upgrade.
-- then maunaly reinstalled "ubuntu-minimal", release still failling on "unable to find 'ubuntu-minimal'"

So what solution to go back from LST+livepatch to normal release on
ubuntu 24.04 ?
