Getting this error

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

tried this but does not work Error while trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10: "Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading."

What next?

Some random update broke everything. Resolution is busted. Drivers are busted. Updates don't work. Upgrades don't work.

Someone has done something wonky. A friend also had to reinstall everything recently.

Likely will find another post answering all these questions.

What should I be doing next? I think i have disable most sources.

I can purge nvida and cuda etc and keep trying drivers but this seems expensive.

UPDATE:

The following packages have been kept back:
  grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed postfix shim-signed

I don't think I can remove these?

Upgrading solved ALL my problems.

What is very strange is the upgrade process took a very long time AND it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Lunar Lobster 23.10 ... but now when I do lsb_release -a I see 22.10!?

Very strange.

Not only did my driver issues get fixed by gpu compat with various python libraries also started working again.

I still don't know what the issue was. Went through many cycles of purging and re-installing, updating etc before upgrading. And even to upgrade I couldn't until I manually uninstalled (i.e. sudo apt-get remove X) ALL the packages that were reported as held (they were not held) by the complaint from the upgrade process.

Hopefully this helps someone get out of dodge.
