[Bug 1615771] Re: fetching libcgi files in wrong directory prevents 14.04 to 16.04 upgrade

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub]

Apport-bug opened Bug #1615750 open in the Ubuntu samba package: package samba-common 2:4.3.9+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 project, somewhere around the midpoint of the upgrade process.  
  
Do the functions of the three libcgi-pm-perl files referenced above have anything to do with the samba-common package?  
  
If so please make that comment on Bug #1615750 so that they are aware of the dependency.  
  
If not, what function do these files relate to? Just for my learning curve.

Bug description:
  **This is the second try at posting this due to an "Oops, something
  went wrong" message**

  I am entering this bug on a different machine due to the unstable
  state of my wife's machine

  the repair broken packages and I assume ubuntu-release-upgrader-core has same error because of trying to fetch libcgi-pm-perl_4.26-1_all.deb from 
  Http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcgi-pm-perl_4.26-1_all.deb
  when it should be fetching from:
  Http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libc/libcgi-pm-perl/libcgi-pm-perl_4.26-1_all.deb
  same for:
  libcgi-pm-perl_0.77-1build1_amd64.deb
  and
  libcgi-pm-fast-per1_2.10-1_all.deb

  in each case the directory /libcgi-pm-perl/ has been left out of the
  fetch path.

  Cannot include log files contained in 
  "/var/log/dist-upgrade/"
  cd var
  returns 
  no such file or directory
