mantic to noble upgrade failed

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Sorry I don't have much data, as my system is hosed, can't run ubuntu-bug or apt.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 which shipped with 20.04 and has been upgraded through 23.10. I tried a do-release-upgrade but that failed part way through. I'll attach what I can.

Some snippets:

I think this was the start of the badness:

dpkg: libssl3:i386: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested:
 libssh-4:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).
 libshout3:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0~~alpha1).
 libsasl2-modules:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).
 libsasl2-2:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).
 libkrb5-3:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).
 libcurl4:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).
 gstreamer1.0-plugins-good:i386 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0).

The issue here is undeclared dependencies on libglib2.0-0 in snapd / deb2snap conversion packages, in this case, thunderbird, causing it to fail to install, because an empty libglib2.0-0 transitional package is unpacked early in the upgrade removing the library they need.

The libssl3 is a strawman, it immediately gets solved by apt unpacking libssl3t64.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 2061918 where we track the bug already.

I managed to sudo dpkg -i ./libglib2.0-0t64_2.80.0-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb

As per suggestion from Juliank.

Sadly it's all still a bit of a mess..
