[Bug 989164] [NEW] precise headless server upgrade failed

[computorist]

Public bug reported:

I attempted a headless server upgrade from oneiric to precise by

ssh server
screen -RD
sudo do-release-upgrade

I've done this exact set of steps for several releases without issue.
This time, I received this output:
