Was running `do-realease-upgrade -d` from Ubuntu running 24.10 (upgrading to an unlaunched version of 25.04).

My system was up to date before running the upgrade.

Hey hello @rellick - thanks for reaching out and reporting this.
I see you commented in the original bug where we are discussing this issue. Seems to be the same as described there, but with a different version - so I am marking this one as a duplicate.
If you have any other information (like steps to reproduce the bug) we can follow up in the other bug.
