Comment 9 for bug 2004551

Today I'm trying to reproduce the error in a lxc vm without success: I logged in via ssh to start the do-release-upgrade there so the system would initiate sshd on port 1022 as well. The upgrade process went fine the times I tried it.

Thanks Andreas for spotting the same error in the autopkgtest log. I'm looking for similarities between it and the horsea machine.

Checking horsea's log, I found the following

"FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-x6gsdfa4/removal_denylist.cfg'"

in the screenlog.0 under /var/log/dist-upgrade directory:
