[Bug 2080541] Re: Failed upgrade from 22.04.4 LTS to 24.04.1 LTS due to gconf2 "dependency problems".

[Chase Simmons]

Fair warning, I'm not great with programming. That being said, by
reviewing the bug notes it looks like the update failed due to a 127
error caused by a permission error, broken symlinks, and the infamous
gconf2 error. I found the error message in the main log.

2024-09-12 11:02:59,017 ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'gconf2': 'dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed'
2024-09-12 11:02:59,018 DEBUG running apport_pkgfailure() gconf2: dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed

Title:
  Failed upgrade from 22.04.4 LTS to 24.04.1 LTS due to gconf2

Bug description:
  During the upgrade from 22.04.4 LTS to 24.04.1 LTS the upgrade failed
  to install gconf2 due to "dependency problems". A full summary of the
  issue is available on stack exchange at the URL
  https://askubuntu.com/questions/1525185/failed-upgrade-
  from-22-04-4-lts-to-24-04-1-lts-with-the-error-message-could-not.

  This is the second time I have tried upgrading my system. I prepared
  my system by using the commands sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade
  as well as ppa-purge to remove extra PPA's that may have been causing
  the issue.
