I proceeded with the release upgrade today, overall it went pretty well, but some software that I had installed manually in the 22.04 got uninstalled instead of upgraded. This concerns notably Kdenlive, Xsane and Gimp. Of course reinstalling it was an one-liner, and the configuration files haven't been deleted (so for example all the customisation I had in Gimp was preserved), but why did they get uninstalled and why did I have to reinstall them manually remains a mystery for me. And I prefer knowledge to mysteries, so if anyone can explain to me why that happened, I would be very grateful.

Funky dependencies during the upgrade, I think. Not sure the exact culprit, but it most likely is from the ordering of the package installs perhaps. I suspect that it may have just been safer to have this happen than to try and fix it (aka break other things in the process), else it didn't happen to everyone, and wasn't reported.
