1. Install Ubuntu MATE 21.10 online or off-line (does not really matter)
2. Login to freshly installed system
3. Run `update-manager` manually
Expected results:
* update-manager founds some useful updates and install them
Actual results:
* update-manager founds some useful updates and will remove Firefox web-browser to replace it with Snap version
See screenshot and its OCR main part:
Details of updates
Install or remove
Duplicate packages to be removed
Firefox Web Browser
Additional info:
* in /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/deb2snap.json you clearly state the dependency on ubuntu-desktop package, but flavours does not have such package installed, so it is a bug.
Workaround:
* mark Firefox as manually installed by `sudo apt-mark manual firefox` and then launch `update-manager` again.
