Hello, note that apt-get -u dist-upgrade is not actually a supported mechanism to upgrade from one release to another. The supported mechanism is via the do-release-upgrade tool in the ubuntu-release-upgrader-core package.

Probably you can make this work somehow, but it might be best to look for interactive help in #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net or https://askubuntu.com.

Thanks

Thanks, Seth.

I’ll check it.
