[Bug 996916] Re: postgresql packages in the removal blacklist making it hard to upgrade

[Flaburgan]

It's 2020, and 4 years after reporting it (there
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-
upgrader/+bug/1594355) I am once again facing this bug upgrading from
18.04 to 20.04 because of postgresql-11-postgis-3. When is someone going
to have a look at it?

Title:
  postgresql packages in the removal blacklist making it hard to upgrade

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have got this pop-up error message while updating from Ubuntu
  version 11.04 to 11.10:

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  The package 'postgresql-plperl-8.4' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist.

   This can be caused by:
   * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
   * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command
  'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.
