Upgrades to Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin are suspended

The Ubuntu release team have identified some of the issues that may affect all Ubuntu upgrades from the Oracular Oriole, which is a 20th year anniversary version of Ubuntu when it was unveiled back in 2004, to the Plucky Puffin that was released a week ago. The following issues were discovered:

• 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

The release team have decided to halt all upgrades to the Plucky Puffin while the following critical issues mentioned above are being investigated. Once they are fixed, users can upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 again. This is done as a safety measure to avoid people having to deal with critical bugs like these after the upgrade.
