Hi - the majority of engineers where on Sprints in the recent weeks, so
we were a bit short on staff - apologize. This bug got already assigned.
But to get you unblocked, you may just remove (sudo apt remove ...) the package
in question (and the one that has it as dependency), since they are not
mandatory:
$ apt-cache policy language-pack-en-base language-pack-en
language-pack-en-base:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:20.04+20220818
Version table:
1:20.04+20220818 500
500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates/main s390x
Packages
1:20.04+20200416 500
500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal/main s390x Packages
language-pack-en:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:20.04+20200416
Version table:
1:20.04+20200416 500
500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal/main s390x Packages
If you remove them, please note if further (reverse) dependencies are removed
too, if so record them and re-install again after the upgrade.
