According to:
mint-meta-codecs is already the newest version (2021.11.18).
and:

APT is not pointing towards Mint 21 which contains the thumbnailers and version 2022.07.03 of mint-meta-cinnamon.
This output shows the PostUpgradeCheck(). This is done some time after UpdateReposCheck() which job it is to point towards Mint 21.
We need the full output of the upgrade tool here to understand what happens during the previous phase.
Also, I'd like to know what the APT repositories point to, with the output of:
inxi -r
I'm also experiencing this issue (which is strange, as I upgraded another laptop last night and didn't experience it then). The output when I ran inxi -r
is

I've saved the full output of the upgrade procedure. Note that I tried changing the mirror I was pointing to a few times in initial efforts to debug this problem upgrade.log .
@cmacmackin looking at the log I see the following:
Err:2629 http://mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 node-fs-readdir-recursive all 1.1.0-2 403 Forbidden [IP: 77.75.110.242 80]
This is an error with the mirror or the state of the Ubuntu repositories at the time. If I try this URL manually now it works fine so I guess it was a temporary issue.
Either way, the tool tried twice and failed twice.
On its third try it succeeded but the repos had changed back to focal/una.
I may be wrong but I get the impression that you changed the repositories back to focal/una...? Maybe you used mintsources to do that? That would explain why the upgrade failed consequently.
Let me know if this is what happened and then we can think of making the tool detect that use case.

I'm embarrassed to say that you are exactly right. I had only been thinking about the sources in terms of the base server URL and hadn't been considering that Mintsources would be pointing to the old version.
Incidentally, I went on to try updating the repositories by manually editing the config files. This got the installation to finish but it was badly broken by that point. When I rebooted I was presented with a TTY and the computer wasn't able to connect to the internet automatically. I couldn't work out how to connect it to the internet (possibly it was missing some packages necessary to do this). In the end I did a fresh reinstall. That computer had been formatted with home directories on a different partition than the system, so it all went very smoothly.
No pb. Thanks for getting back to me. I pushed a new version which stops the upgrade in these later stages if the repositories point to the origin.
