Hello,
What I do in these situations is to install a new distribution in a subdirectory, and then run the desired stuff with chroot into that subdirectory. In other words, install the new distribution on a virtual machine, and copy its root filesystem.
It's a really dirty trick, and sometimes you need you massage the system a bit, but once the little issues are fixed, it works surprisingly well.
I've summarized my experiences in this post:

Hi,
I have two Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS servers (droplets) which I can't and don't want to upgrade right now. One of them is running pip==22.2.2 and when I run this command I get this output:
pip freeze|grep -i certb certbot==2.10.0 certbot-apache==2.10.0 certbot-dns-digitalocean==2.10.0
The other one is running pip==21.3.1 and when I run this command I get this output:
pip freeze|grep -i certb /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/secretstorage/dhcrypto.py:15: CryptographyDeprecationWarning: Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Therefore, support for it is deprecated in cryptography and will be removed in a future release. from cryptography.utils import int_from_bytes certbot==1.23.0 certbot-apache==1.23.0 certbot-dns-digitalocean==1.23.0 certbot-dns-route53==1.23.0
I want to know how do I upgrade pip, certbot and optionally Python to its latest version in both machines, and especially the second machine?
I also have two machines with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS. There I have problems with Ubuntu pro:

I recently ran the following upgrade commands for all the above machines, and I got many times in the Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS to select an option (I always selected the default):
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt autoremove sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt autoremove sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
And I also had to run the following commands: cd /var/lib/dpkg sudo mv info info.bak sudo mkdir info sudo apt-get upgrade
Thanks, Uri Rodberg, Speedy Net
