I'm here to report a similar issue. But what distinguishes my case from all of you is that I formatted 16.04 straight from live media. I never upgraded from 14.04.
I'm getting this: $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade...
