Thanks. I've installed kubuntu-desktop and the upgrade is now proceeding OK.
The reason that kubuntu-desktop is not installed is because installing it forces anacron to be installed. Some of my systems are on all of the time, and so I do not want anacron on these as, while you can turn of anacron in systemd, the /etc/crontab file will still behave as though anacron is running as all it checks for is the presence of /usr/sbin/anacron. I do have an 8-year old ticket about this bug: bug #1759846 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2171288 Title: upgrade script fails for Kubuntu 26.04 -> 26.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2171288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
