Re: Update/upgrade removes hundreds of packages?
I got caught up in this update mess yesterday. I was initially excited when I got an email from a bug report that kernel 6.8.0-20-generic had been released. My 24.04 desktop VM now has no network and the workarounds seem to require a network. I am a server person, and only use the desktop do do work on ubuntu-docs for publishing on help.ubuntu.com. My 24.04 Ubuntu server seems to have survived the update. The 6.8.0-20-generic kernel didn't show up until today (I'll start another thread about that).
EDIT: after a workaround post to the network-manager gets deleted bug report, I was able to get the network working again on my 24.04 desktop VM. Tons more updates, but still 4 packages being held back, due to dependency issues with non-existent packages. I'll just wait before trying again.
