[Bug 1931905] Re: Crash on upgrade

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The tool was made to upgrade Ubuntu and flavors of Ubuntu
(https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) where as you are not use a
supported system.

Your system has foreign (Pop) packages that the upgrade tool wants to
remove to accomplish upgrade, but your system has marked as 'cannot be
removed'

2021-06-14 13:27:39,901 DEBUG The package 'pop-desktop' is marked for removal but it's an ESSENTIAL package
2021-06-14 13:27:56,093 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The essential package 'pop-desktop' is marked for removal.'

The issue is not the upgrade tool but you're using an unsupported
product; ie. not using a Ubuntu system.

Please refer to Pop OS documentation, eg.
https://support.system76.com/articles/upgrade-pop/

I've marked this 'invalid'; however if you believe I'm in error, please
leave a comment explaining why, and the status can be changed back to
"New".


** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
