I have made some changes, please can you try to upgrade again? thanks.

No changes to the VM.
I've tried multiple times to upgrade, same error message.
I've rebooted and tried, same.

[grossmj]

Please can you try to execute these 2 commands inside the VM and then upgrade again? thanks.

sudo apt-mark unhold libvirt-daemon-system
