Title:
  do-release-upgrade fails because mirrors don't have both amd64 and
  arm64 architectures

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

Bug description:
  do-release-upgrade fails. I'm told this may be because I have
  multiarch added arm64 support to do cross compilation to arm64
  targets, and many mirrors only support amd64/i386 architectures.

  Unfortunately, do-release-upgrade swaps out my sources.list, and there
  is no command line option to tell it to use the main ubuntu
  repository, so I have no idea how to work around this problem.
  Meanwhile, I'm now stuck with an old, unsupported OS version.

  The do-release-upgrader seems to run in some sub-window mode where I
  can't scroll back, and thus can't copy/paste all of the output, but I
  captured the beginning and end bits.
