Status of Oracular to Plucky upgrades

[paride]

We’ve identified some issues in the ubuntu-release-upgrader affecting upgrades to Ubuntu 25.04 “Plucky Puffin”. Issues currently under investigation are:

• upgrades to plucky incorrectly remove foreign packages from disabled sources
• Kubuntu 24.10 do-release-upgrade and Steam (or other) dependencies installed produces not booting desktop
• Ubuntu Studio failed to upgrade Oracular → Plucky
• ubuntu-release-upgrader Qt interface Qt6 incompatibility

As a result, upgrades to Ubuntu 25.04 have been temporarily suspended while these issues are being addressed.

The necessary updates are already in the pipeline, and we expect to re-enable upgrades very soon.

Thank you for your patience.

Oracular → Plucky upgrades are now available again: on Oracular systems, do-release-upgrade should propose upgrading to Plucky. The release team will soon communicate this more widely.
