Title:
  Old apt version blocks upgrade from 14.04.3 LTS to 15.04 due to
  "Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no'"

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

Bug description:
  I'm trying to update a 14.04.3 LTS machine to 15.04.
  In that process, I get the following message :
  ------
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
  Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'
  You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

  This can be caused by:
  * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
  * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
  * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu

  If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
  command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

  ------

  This problem is caused by apt, according to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=759099 , this was solved in apt 1.0.7.
  The version installed with trusty-updates  is 1.0.1ubuntu2.10, so without the fix.

  Is there a way to upgrade to fix this ?
  I would really like to convert this machine into a non LTS machine, without having a reinstall which would make my users unhappy.
