** Description changed:

  I did the release upgrade with the "sudo do-release-upgrade" command.
  I'm running a server with two HDD in raid 1 configured with mdadm.
  Tell me if you need other information about my hardware or configuration.
+ 
+ After restarting the server, I still had problems with the mdadm
+ package, apt upgrade failed each time because of mdadm. I solved my
+ problem by removing and reinstalling mdadm :
+ 
+ dpkg --force-all --remove mdadm
+ dpkg --force-all --purge mdadm
+ apt-get install -y mdadm
+ (I found that here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/924306/mdadm-blocks-apt-get-upgrade#1203667)
+ 
+ apt remove was not enough to fix the problem.

Bug description:
  I did the release upgrade with the "sudo do-release-upgrade" command.
  I'm running a server with two HDD in raid 1 configured with mdadm.
  Tell me if you need other information about my hardware or configuration.

  After restarting the server, I still had problems with the mdadm
  package, apt upgrade failed each time because of mdadm. I solved my
  problem by removing and reinstalling mdadm :

  dpkg --force-all --remove mdadm
  dpkg --force-all --purge mdadm
  apt-get install -y mdadm
  (I found that here : https://askubuntu.com/questions/924306/mdadm-blocks-apt-get-upgrade#1203667)

  apt remove was not enough to fix the problem.
