Public bug reported:
Current release: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
Basefiles version is:
Installed: 13ubuntu10.3
Candidate: 13.6ubuntu2
Thread about this bug here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/may-have-
found-a-upgrade-issue/58642. According to someone in that thread,
upgrading from 24.04 to 25.04 should be supported now.
When I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04, it gave me some installation errors.
