[Bug 1785352] Re: do-release-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 fails

[Brian Murray]

It appears that you still have the package binutils from Ubuntu 14.04
installed on your system. From VarLogDistupgradeAptclonesystemstate we
can see:

binutils 2.24-5ubuntu14.1 0

Please upgrade that package to the version of the one for Ubuntu 16.04
and any other packages that may be out of date.  Thanks and good luck.

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- do-release-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 fails
+ do-release-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 fails due to old version of binutils
