Public bug reported: This stopped without telling why. The logs pointed towards postgres. After some failed attempts I found the denylist was actually shipped in the installer, but it seems a bit too strict.
``` root@kaa:/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-xjd4g5rx# cat removal_denylist.cfg # deny list of packages that should never be removed ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop$ kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop mythbuntu-desktop ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntu-mate-core ubuntu-mate-desktop # ubuntu-release-upgrader should not remove itself or update-manager update-manager$ update-manager-core ubuntu-release-upgrader-core # if for example postgresql-10 is purged the cluster can be dropped which we # should prevent (LP: #871893, #1825563) ^postgresql-.*[0-9]\.[0-9].* ^postgresql-.*[0-9][0-9].* # the upgrade runs in it ^screen$ # the upgrade might be run over ssh ^openssh-server$ ``` Uninstalling the wal2json extension fixed it. # apt remove postgresql-12-wal2json I expected Ubuntu to just remove this, -- I've cleaned up he 12 cluster into 14 previously. It is a bit bothersome having to do that manually all the time, this is just a development machine, though I understand some people will be more afraid of their production clusters. Still think an auto-upgrade or migration or at least an option to just pg_dump the lot and remiport would be okay for desktop ubuntu installs.
