Why is the upgrade from 23.04 to 24.04.1 failing with "install all available updates"?

  • 772

The upgrade to 24.04.1 is failing with a message that I need to make all updates before installing. As you can see in the attached log, I've attempted to make all updates however some 'esm-apps' updates are not being installed and I need to install Ubuntu Pro to update them. I am assuming these updates are not required to do the update.

There is a series of dotnet updates that are not installed, but I previosly removed dotnet. Are these the updates that is blocking the upgrade? If yes, can I get rid of them?

As an aside, I also tried the Software Updater and it exits without a message. :-(

Regards

    1. "I've attempted to make all updates however some 'esm-apps' updates are not being installed and I need to install Ubuntu Pro to update them."

      You have misread the output. Ubuntu Pro ('esm-apps') is not required.

    1. The reason your system will not release upgrade is...

      The following packages have been kept back:
  dotnet-hostfxr-7.0 ubuntu-advantage-tools ubuntu-pro-client ubuntu-pro-client-l10n
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

      ...phased updates.

      The safest course is to simply let phasing complete. Maybe a few days. Maybe a week. Then those packages (except dotnet-hostfxr-7.0) will install, and then you can release-upgrade.

      If you really want to, you can override phasing and install them now. How to do so has been explained many times, so I'll let you search for it if you want to go that route.

    1. Your dotnet issue seems simple enough:

      The package name is dotnet-hostfxr-7.0

      But you wrote $ sudo apt remove dotnet

      Try using the complete package name: $ sudo apt remove dotnet-hostfxr-7.0
