Public bug reported:
Running `do-release-upgrade` from focal to groovy, I got the following
crash after the packages were downloaded:
```
apt_pkg.Error: E:Could not configure 'libc6:amd64'. , E:Could not perform
immediate configuration on 'libnss-nis:amd64'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under

Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).
Upgrade infeasible
The upgrade could not be completed, there were errors during the
upgrade process.
```
I tried adding an /etc/apt/99temp-release-upgrade file with the
following contents:
```
APT::Immediate-Configure "false"
```
which resulted in:
```
# do-release-upgrade
