Public bug reported:
Hello ubuntu devs,
Trying to upgrade from mantic to noble but my system has broken
packages. About 93 now. Before they were almost 200
I tried removing some broken packages and made some mistakes on the way I guess.
The point is that I also have some fundamental packages in broken state. For
instance, python3 and I cannot remove it since it depends on grub-common.
The error from /var/log/dist-upgrade is:
# grep 'E:' main.log
2024-09-24 18:26:37,663 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'E:Unable to correct
problems, you have held broken packages.'
I tried many things, I checked with dpkg --get-selections if I had hold
packages and I did not have.
My last try was to mark as "hold" grub packages:
# apt-mark showhold
grub-efi-amd64-bin
grub-efi-amd64-signed
Could you please give a hand on this one?
Thank you very much in advance!
