Title:
Upgrading from jammy to noble results in a linux-headers package being
in a broken state
Status in linux-aws package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in linux-gcp package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Now that 24.04.1 has been released, 22.04 users are encouraged to upgrade to
24.04 via the `do-release-upgrade` command. This issue was seen whilst testing
this upgrade path.
Upgrading and later rebooting a jammy GCP instance results in
`linux-headers-6.5.0-1025-gcp` being a broken state.
```
$ sudo apt install

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-headers-6.5.0-1025-gcp : Depends: linux-gcp-6.5-headers-6.5.0-1025 but
it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
```
`linux-gcp-6.5-headers-6.5.0-1025` is a dependency of
`linux-image-6.5.0-1025-gcp` which is also not removed during the upgrade.
```
$ apt-cache rdepends linux-headers-6.5.0-1025-gcp
linux-headers-6.5.0-1025-gcp
Reverse Depends:
linux-image-6.5.0-1025-gcp
$ apt-cache rdepends linux-image-6.5.0-1025-gcp
linux-image-6.5.0-1025-gcp
Reverse Depends:

Running `apt --fix-broken install` resolves the error.
