Bug Description

Volume Group metadata had to be upgraded manually with

vgck --updatemetadata yourvgname

The VG name was somehow changed from lvm-name to just name and I had to edit /etc/crypttab and update-initramfs -u -k all

Also cryptsetup-initramfs package was deleted for some reason, had to re-install it in chroot. Maybe it happened because I have disabled installing recommended and suggested packages or maybe because none of *buntu-desktop packages are installed on my system. Not sure if I have to report it as a separate problem, please advise.

Can't. /var/log is in tmpfs and I didn't save them unfortunately. Feel free to close this as a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1874381
