Bug Description
I'm trying to update a 14.04.3 LTS machine to 15.04.
In that process, I get the following message :
------
Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'
Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-core'
Unknown Multi-Arch type 'no' for package 'compiz-gnome'

You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the
command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-
------
This problem is caused by apt, according to https:/
The version installed with trusty-updates is 1.0.1ubuntu2.10, so without the fix.
Is there a way to upgrade to fix this ?
I would really like to convert this machine into a non LTS machine, without having a reinstall which would make my users unhappy.
