Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Linux Mint forum discussion and the mintupgrade upgrade path for LM Xfce 21.3 to 22. Reproduce or trace handling for base-files, grub-efi-amd64-signed, Caribou, Onboard, and VLC; done means the upgrade no longer blocks on version conflicts, obsolete Caribou, or unexpected VLC removal.

Description
I just did a mintupgrade from LM Xfce 21.3 to 22.
A few observations, which currently blocks the upgrade process for average users:
- base-files and grub-efi-amd64-signed can't be upgraded due to version numbering issues.
- Caribou also blocks (seems to be superseeded by Onboard)
- VLC is being removed during the upgrade process for unknown reasons
