** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ During upgrades from Jammy to Noble, systemd.postinst trys to reexec all 
running user managers. It does so using a feature that was not added until 
v250, and attempting this against a v249 daemon results in it being killed 
instead, which brings down all user sessions.
+ 
+ Hence, during the upgrades, the user session is killed, and the system
+ is left in a bad state.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ Run an upgrade from Jammy to Noble on Ubuntu desktop. The upgrade should
+ proceed normally (or at least not have the entire session killed by
+ systemd.postinst).
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ The fix is to add a version guard against this logic in
+ systemd.postinst. If the version string was wrong or typo'd, the fix
+ would not work as expected.
+ 
+ [Original Description]
