[Bug 1912652] Re: package libc6 2.31-0ubuntu9.1 failed to install/upgrade: new libc6:arm64 package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 127

[Balint Reczey]

Removing libc6-lse before the release upgrade resolves the issue.

Since the libc6-lse went away in hirsute anyway and ubuntu-release-
upgrader updates are much easier and quicker than glibc ones I propose
adding a quirk to remove libc6-lse before upgrades and possibly install
it again if it is avaliable.
