Public bug reported: I've been testing upgrading my 15.10 and 14.04 servers to 16.04 the last handful of weeks using do-release-upgrade -d. Up until today, it's been fine to do so. However, when doing this on a 14.04 VM that I updated in the same manner only yesterday I get this output after running do- release-upgrade -d:

I had upgraded it yesterday without trouble, but rolled back to a previous snapshot to test a different method. Nothing on this VM has changed on the OS side, including packages. I have no idea what's caused the breakage. ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Status: Confirmed ** Package changed: crmsh (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570947 Title: Trusty to Xenial upgrade KeyError: 'SUDO_UID' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1570947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
