[Bug 2100586] Re: package javascript-common 11+nmu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed javascript-common package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

[Carlos Eduardo Dutra Brum]

This was what I'd got from GPT

#### GPT's Message

The message indicates that your system needs to be fully updated before
you can upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. Follow these steps to resolve
the issue:

### Step 1: Update Your Current System
Run the following commands:

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
```
This ensures all installed packages are updated to the latest available versions.

### Step 2: Clean Up Unnecessary Packages
After updating, clean up unnecessary packages to avoid conflicts:

```bash
sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt clean
```

### Step 3: Reboot Your System
Some updates may require a restart:

```bash
sudo reboot
```

### Step 4: Retry the Upgrade
After the reboot, try running:

```bash
sudo do-release-upgrade
```

### Additional Troubleshooting:
- If you still get the same message, try upgrading step-by-step:
  ```bash
  sudo apt install --fix-broken
  sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
  sudo do-release-upgrade
  ```
- If you’re using an **LTS (Long-Term Support) version**, check if the next LTS is available by running:
  ```bash
  sudo do-release-upgrade -d
  ```
  (Use this only if you’re willing to upgrade to a development release.)
