[Bug 1613183] Re: gui do-release-upgrade 14.04->16.04 stopped (because of no ubuntu-minimal mirror?)

[Brian Murray]

It looks like your sources.list file did contain some references to the
nl mirror, for trusty-updates.  Had those not existed you should have
received a dialog about using an unofficial mirror and seen an option to
rewrite the sources.list file anyway.  Then the upgrader would use your
mirror to upgrade.

Title:
  gui do-release-upgrade 14.04->16.04 stopped (because of no ubuntu-
  minimal mirror?)

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The GUI warned that ubuntu-minimal could not be located.

  The console version showed this:

  """
  After updating your package information, the essential package 
  'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have 
  no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of 
  excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list 
  for the current list of configured software sources. 
  In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade 
  again later. 

  
  Restoring original system state

  Aborting
  """

  This could possibly be caused by me using a custom APT mirror (apt-
  cacher-ng).

  Replacing all of `MY_MIRROR` with `nl.archive.ubuntu.com` in
  sources.list seems to do the trick. The console do-release-upgrade now
  continues (and later aborts on disk space issues with /boot, but that
  was easily fixed as well).
