[Bug 2041707] [NEW] Phased updates block release upgrades

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Public bug reported:

I updated my Kubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 using do-release-upgrade. It
finished 100% successfully. But after rebooting into 23.10, I noticed
that network-manager was kept back to the 23.04 version due to phased
updates. Specifically:

# apt policy network-manager

network-manager:
  Installed: 1.42.4-1ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2
  Version table:
     1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2 500 (phased 70%)
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-updates/main amd64 Packages
     1.44.2-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.42.4-1ubuntu2 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I.e. the phased version (1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2) prevents me from getting the
current mantic version (1.44.2-1ubuntu1) and I'm stuck with the lunar
version (1.42.4-1ubuntu2).
