Public bug reported:
Current release: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Basefiles version is:
Installed: 13ubuntu10.3
Candidate: 13.6ubuntu2
Thread about this bug here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/may-have-
found-a-upgrade-issue/58642. According to someone in that thread,
upgrading from 24.04 to 25.04 should be supported now.
When I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04, it gave me some installation errors.
Running apt-get upgrade returns:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dbus : Depends: base-files (>= 13.4~)
libc6 : Breaks: base-files (< 13.3~)
Breaks: base-files:i386 (< 13.3~)
libc6:i386 : Breaks: base-files (< 13.3~)
Breaks: base-files:i386 (< 13.3~)

Running apt --fix-broken install returns:
