Public bug reported: For me (and apparently many others), upgrading Ubuntu Trusty LTS to Ubuntu Xenial LTS fails because do-release-upgrade bails out because of apt error messages like this:
Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-dev' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-wayland' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'kwin-x11' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libkf5sysguard-dev' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome' Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'libxapian-dev' It is caused by Debian bug #759099 [1] fixed in apt 1.0.7. Therefore I'm requesting a backport of "apt" to trusty. In the title I've suggested 1.0.9 from utopic - a more recent version might be fine too but when I tried to build the wily version on my local machine it couldn't because the g++ requirement had moved on too far.
