Going to reassigning to debconf, while it's gtk not handling when loaders are not configured that's during-update issue where the system is in inconsistent state and I'm unsure GTK itself is where to fix the problem

it had been discussed a bit on https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2020/04/21/%23ubuntu-release.html#t16:15

debconf handles GTK failing, but that's not a clear failure case, the error is hit when trying to load icons ... one way to address this would perhaps be to make debconf try to do that and fallback as well if it's failing. Reassigning to foundation and tagging rls-ff-incoming since that's a common case of upgrade failure
