do-release upgrade fails with KeyError: “The cache has no package named 'ubuntu-minimal'”












0















I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu server from 16.04 to 18.04 using do-release-upgrade but it errors out right at the start with:



Traceback (most recent call last): 

File "/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-074vyz42/bionic", line 8, in
<module>
sys.exit(main())

File
"/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-074vyz42/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py",
line 238, in main
if app.run():

File
"/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-074vyz42/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py",
line 2053, in run
return self.fullUpgrade()

File
"/tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-074vyz42/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py",
line 1936, in fullUpgrade
if not self.cache.anyVersionDownloadable(self.cache[pkg]):

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 233, in
__getitem__
raise KeyError('The cache has no package named %r' % key)

KeyError: "The cache has no package named 'ubuntu-minimal'"


It looks like this bug, but the bug report is from a few months ago and hasn't had any attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795207



ubuntu-minimal is neither unstalled nor available:



root@tooticky:~# apt install ubuntu-minimal
