upgrade to 25.04 failure

On my main computer running xubuntu 24.04 I keep getting failure to upgrade from 24.04 to 26.05. It suggests removing numerous packages which I hesitate to do because it may break my system. Below is the output what do you suggest I do? I am running on a Dell 660s desktop with 8GB ram and plenty of free space. I have upgraded many similar systems with less specs with no problems.Thank you

Re: upgrade to 25.04 failure

Those listed packages seem to revolve around the PDF Viewer (Atril) and Firefox. I'm no expert but its not as many packages as would warrant me personally to be  much concerned, but I suppose everyone has their tolerance for things like this.

If you are still very worried, you said you have a lot of data space, maybe install another PDF Viewer and browser as backup in case you break them??
