[Bug 1969786] [NEW] Upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 failed

[Alex Diaz-Manero]

Public bug reported:

On focal 20.04  I executed the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core -y
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt-get autoremove

also I disabled 3rd party repositories (Google, FreeCad and some other) 
 in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ 

Checking the version I have
uname -mrs
  > Linux 5.13.0-40-generic x86_64
lsb_release -a
  >   No LSB modules are available.
       Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
       Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
       Release:    20.04
       Codename:    focal

Then I run the following command to execute the distribution upgrade
procedure

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

  And deep down into the process  (95%)  I hit the following "bug" 
...
Installing new version of config file /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.Evolution-alarm-notify.desktop ...
Processing triggers for dbus (1.12.20-2ubuntu4) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.35-0ubuntu3) ...
Reading package lists... Done    
Building dependency tree          
Reading state information... Done

   I have to admit of this is really a but or if it is "self-made" that
I broke the python installation myself as I see that is using python38
from my system.

  I haven' t rebooted the computer ... The computer is "functional" but many Apps (file browser, LibreOffice to mention 2) have disappeared. I am scared that if I reboot I am going to be left without notebook to work with.
  Any guidance to get out of this issue would be much appreciated. 

Thank you for reading.
