unable to upgrade to 24.04 because of postgis installation

[John Esterly]

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 The package 'postgresql-16-postgis-3' is marked for removal but it is in the removal deny list.

If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If you want to investigate this yourself the log files in '/var/log/dist-upgrade' will contain details about the upgrade. Specifically, look at 'main.log' and 'apt.log'.

I have the same with postgresql-15. Deinstallation will help, but then the migration from 15 to 16 is more complicated. There is an overlap from 15 and 16 needed.

To prevent data loss, postgresql packages are not removed automatically during the upgrade. If you are certain you no longer need postgresql-15, you can manually remove it and try the upgrade
again.'
