[Bug 1789412] Re: i can not upgrade to ubuntu 18

[Julian Andres Klode]

Thanks for your bug report.

First of all, you're not using ubuntu-releaser, but apt.

Secondly, the lock message indicates something else is currently
upgrading/installing packages or working the the database (possibly
unattended-upgrades installing security updates), you have to wait for
those to finish (whatever you do, do NOT delete the lock file, that's a
common misconception about how locking works).

** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => apt (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
