Public bug reported:

do-release-upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 (right after doing a 20.04 to
22.04 upgrade) resulted in this error

dpkg: error processing package policykit-1 (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of packagekit-tools:
 packagekit-tools depends on packagekit (= 1.2.8-2ubuntu1.2); however:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 polkitd
 pkexec
 packagekit
 modemmanager
 policykit-1
 packagekit-tools
 software-properties-common
 ubuntu-server


There are errors before that but I can page backup to see them (or at least, I don't know how to). Previous server I did this on had no issues at all.

What I expected to happen: 22.04 to 24.04 do-release-upgrade to finish without errors.
What happened instead: dpkg threw errors that a the packagekit-tools package was a dependency for the listed packages, but hadn't been configured yet.
