Comment 124 for bug 1766137

@Ads20000 Thanks for the link. Sadly, gdm3 is neither in the autopkgtest-list, nor update-excuses, nor update-list, so it seems things are stuck at an earlier stage and the documentation does not clarify where to find out at which point help could be needed.

My intention was not to spam this report, but to find out where things are stuck (it's not obvious) and how to give support.
It's also not about my personal (im)patience, but we have >200 desktops and >2000 Ubuntu containers and have had to stop the migration after the first 10 desktops due to this bug (and three(!) other ones which all have been known *before* release and should either have been release blockers or been mentioned as "Known Issues" with the new LTS to prevent people from hopping onto the new supposedly-stable). For the other critical issues, QA apparently was even worse, since Debian and in one case also RHEL have already released fixes months or even a year ago, and there has been no reaction on Launchpad whatsoever yet. Since we are also still affected by critical bugs in 16.04 which have been open since 16.04's release and could only be solved by PPA (broken OpenAFS), this makes me wonder whether Ubuntu still is a valid choice for institutional use, but this discussion certainly goes off topic here.

Just let us know if there is something people could help with (testing etc.). As it stands, the status is completely unclear apart from the statement _to be patient_ - without indicating what the actual point is where things are stuck.
