upgrading xubuntu 23.10 to 24.04.

I purged a broken package that was blocking upgrades with sudo dpkg -P libfreerdp2-2 and immediately afterwards I executed sudo apt get upgrade. It unleashed a list of 96 packages to upgrade totaling 900 MB of data.

However, if I press yes on ‘do you want to continue?’ wlan is off wlan is on, nmtui clearly shows it activated, but each time I try upgrading, updating, autoremoving, or install --fix-missing I get:

E: failed to fetch http… initramfs-tools-core… could not connect to 127.0.0.1, connection refused.

(I can write the whole address if you need it)

Some other contributors suggest I use a live usb, not installing the OS but using the live usb with working wlan to complete the installation, but this seems to be more complicated than working directly from initramfs.

    Isn’t it easier if you clean install instead of upgrade?

    That’s the main issue that make me dislike apt and like pacman so much. Apt always (with me) mess the system when upgrading from a version to another.
