Sometimes Ubuntu will show a popup like this:

(It looks weird because I'm using Regolith)
How can I export the list of packages/changes Ubuntu wants to install to a file? This is for debugging purposes - I think something in this update is breaking my system, and I want to be able to be able to figure out exactly where the break is coming from.

Open a terminal and type the following:
sudo apt update
apt list --upgradable > ~/downloadable.txt
The list of software available to download will be saved to a file named downloadable.txt in your home folder.
You can ignore the following warning in this case...
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Alternatively you can use apt-get
sudo apt-get update
yes no | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade > ~/upgradeable.txt
You can find the list in your home directory and at the bottom of the file, you'll see something like this:
123 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 180 MB/197 MB of archives.
After this operation, 89,1 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Which can indicate how long the installation of upgrades will take.
