Jammy to Noble ubuntu studio upgrade fails

[Tim Andersson]

Upgrades failing with a lot of broken packages. I'm not sure of the "source" of the issue

[Tim Andersson (andersson123)]

To reproduce, just install a studio machine with iso:
8718f208b4bdb1c859ee98180462e7b70d5260be929e9ef31805302c3b0daca4

which is:
2024-08-07 19:15

Run apt update and apt upgrade, then do-release-upgrade -d. The upgrade should fail in the same manner.

Failed to find is not a bug, but expected; it just logs packages that we did not find a t64 package for, which will be most of them.

I do not believe there is anything substantially different here vs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-meta/+bug/2078639 but this one is probably the better reproducer than that bug.

[Tim Andersson (andersson123)]

I took a look at the bug, and no, I don't believe there's anything substantially different. However it seems the other bug makes assumptions as to which packages are the root cause of the issue, which I have not. Lots of packages are in a broken state in the logs I saved. I will modify the bug to reflect that a bit better

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer)]

The Ubuntu Studio metapackages are generated entirely with germinate and cannot be manipulated in such a way that they can affect upgrades like this. The fault lies entirely with ubuntu-release-upgrader or the resolver.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Erich that's not (entirely) true.

There may be missing seeded packages to force the solver into the right solution, or conflicting seeds. i.e. seeding pipewire-audio, pipewire, pipewire-alsa, libspa-0.2-bluetooth directly from ubuntustudio-desktop might solve the issue, but it's going to be a long and annoying thing to figure that out.

[Erich Eickmeyer (eeickmeyer)]

Julian, then I don't know what the problem is. I have the majority of people in the wild reporting smooth upgrades. These failures seem like one-offs.
