[Bug 1852576] Re: cannot upgrade to Ubuntu 18 from Ubuntu 16
** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1611737 Can't upgrade from a release if ros packages are installed from ROS servers ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => In Progress ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released ** Description changed: - I was following the instructions present here + I was following the instructions present here https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-linux-16-04-to-18-04/ to upgrade. I faced some issues with sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. Some of my packages were broken so had to remove them. I believe the update and upgrade commands work fine now. Executing sudo do-release-upgrade does not work and I always get this message on the terminal saying "Restoring original system state". I cannot see any specific errors that could help me debug this issue. Could I please get some assistant on this?
