Well, don't. Chances are your problem is fixed upstream, and if it really isn't then wait before upgrading.

I've read the comment, but that's not how taxes usually work. (It is, however, like a lot of people with little knowledge about the topic think tax deductions in general work - which makes me suspicious)

Sorry, I don't really have an easy answer for you. First, don't hold packages, of course that always leads to problems. Especially for release upgrades. Then try to get fully up to date, and if the release upgrade doesn't work after that it might make more sense to reinstall. In that case backup your /home, reinstall the system, and restore your home.

It really seems like these would be more expensive by more than the tax benefits
