Bug Description
Because of the overloaded servers update-manager gives a unclear error message that ubuntu-minimal is missing and aborts (doing a proper cleanup and no harm in any way to the system). The error message is problematic because the real problem is that the server in question is so loaded that it does not return useful data (a comination of 111 connection refused, 403, 404 was observed).
If you experience the problem, please run "update-manager --proposed (or do-release-upgrade --proposed) to get better error checking and let us know here in the bugreport if it helps getting at least a better error message (we can not do a lot to make the servers less loaded at this point).
TEST CASE (for SRU verification):
1. switcht to es.archive.
2. run the upgrade (update-manager or do-release-upgrade)
3. watch it fail with a unclear error message about "ubuntu-minimal missing"
4. run "update-manager --proposed" (or do-release-upgrade --proposed)
5. watch it give a better error message about overloaded servers
