[Bug 1571677] Re: upgrading caused a broken apt cache due to *-lts-vivid packages conflicting with current X packages

[Timo Aaltonen]

there were no transitional packages for lts-{utopic,vivid,wily}, but
I've now uploaded xorg-lts-transitional for xenial which should fix
this.. it's still in NEW queue though, but test upgrade after it's
available

** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => xorg-lts-
transitional (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Changed in: xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)

Title:
  upgrading caused a broken apt cache due to *-lts-vivid packages
  conflicting with current X packages

Status in xorg-lts-transitional package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded from a 14.04 release that had the various *-lts-vivid
  packages installed to 16.04 using do-release-upgrade -d.

  After upgrading the apt cache is busted because none of the meta and
  xorg-core packages can get installed.
