Similar to what @iestynapmwg said, while upgrading from Ubuntu 20.10 to
21.04 experiencing this slowness on step "searching for obsolete
software". Mine took 36 minutes (in my Dell XPS 15 9550 that's not so
old).
2021-05-14 08:17:28,617 DEBUG Start checking for obsolete pkgs
2021-05-14 08:41:34,610 DEBUG Finish checking for obsolete pkgs
Main difference is that my main culprit seems always package
'libqt5gui5'
2021-05-14 08:37:08,688 DEBUG 'libparams-validationcompiler-perl' scheduled for
remove but not safe to remove, skipping
2021-05-14 08:37:08,776 DEBUG package 'libqt5concurrent5' produces an unwanted
removal 'libqt5gui5', skipping
and lsof command returned "hirsute"
sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock
