Running sudo do-release-upgrade on build 14951 to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 => 16.04 fails

I know this is supposed to work with clean LXSS installs, but I was also under the impression that I should be able to upgrade from within the terminal as well.

The command validates everything, then gets to this stage:

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-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

lsb_release -a confirms that I am currently running 14.04

What's going on here?

Gotta ask on the Ubuntu forums to see how you can find the package conflicts. Try re-running with verbose enabled, or just do a clean install? You can do lxrun /uninstall without doing /full and it won't delete your user profile.

Doesn't look like there is a verbose mode (yeah really). I'd prefer not to have to do a clean install because then I'd have to make copies of all my configuration files and whatnot, and that's slightly more effort than running a command and waiting ;-)

@HotelCalifornia Idk homie. I'd classify this as an ubuntu problem rather than a WSL problem.

Where do you see there being package conflicts, incidentally?

At least when you break Arch Linux, it has the courtesy to die horribly and spit out logs =O

This is a big hammer, but you might try the following. Move your current /etc/sources.list out of the way and replace with below (which I generated with the sources list generator). Then do an update and dist-upgrade (sic). If you run into problems hit it with sudo dpkg --configure -a.

Curious that it didn't take out of the box though. This isn't a package conflict per-se. do-release-upgrade isn't letting you get far enough to cause an actual package conflict.

Or just wipe and start from scratch. Which I'd recommend anyway, because in my experience it takes longer for ubuntu-desktop etc to sort itself out than to just reinstall.

I ended up doing a clean reinstall, and to my surprise, the home directory was kept intact.
Thanks everyone!

@sundhaug92 This issue was resolved by using a fresh LXSS install. Also, the apt upgrade command doesn't handle distro upgrades.

I've run into this with 16 to 18 Ubuntu upgrade. sudo apt remove snapd helped me. Solution source
