Thank you. I eventually got 17.10 installed but with other, python- related, problems (BleachBit and some aspect of updating both failed). I bailed and re-installed 16.04. I'll keep your notes for the future.

Another would be to switch to temporary directory created by the release upgrader in /tmp/ and edit the file removal_blacklist.cfg so that unity is no longer listed and then manually run the release upgrader e.g. "sudo ./artful". ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Brian Murray (brian-murray) -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to a duplicate bug report (1725811). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725605 Title: upgrade to 17.10 uncalculable without universe Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: no update possible towards 17.10 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:17.04.9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-37.41-generic 4.10.17 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-37-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4.5 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu Date: Sat Oct 21 10:31:58 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-11-22 (1063 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to zesty on 2017-10-21 (0 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1725605/+subscriptions -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725605 Title: upgrade to 17.10 uncalculable without universe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1725605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
