I was able to get around this "bug." All I had to do was run the Software Updater. This upgraded my kernel to the next version of the kernel. When I ran the Updater once again to upgrade to 16.10, it worked.
Therefore, with 16.04, run all updates available. Then, when all updates are installed, run the upgrade to 16.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637317 Title: distribution upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 aborts with error message 'Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1637317/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
