Bug Description

Jenkins catches this with `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive`, but this also reproduces locally with a manual upgrade in a VM.

Please find attached the artifacts from the Jenkins job, that contains all the logs of the operation. We can see a lot of removed libraries at the beginning of the upgrade, and then the first errors start to appear during the Thunderbird snap install. This may actually be the same bug as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/2061918, but nothing confirmed.

I also noticed that it's removing a lot of packages that seemed quite important for Studio, like `blender`.

This was confirmed as a duplicate of #2061918, which was resolved by archive surgery removing the libglib2.0-0 transitional package. Ubuntu Studio upgrades are now passing fine.
