I'm trying to upgrade my 14.04 machine to 16.04 using do-release-upgrade
. After downloading the package lists for wily, I see the following errors:

You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
It then proceeds to abort the installation. The suggested run of apt-get update
doesn't seem to do anything. Googling for the above error messages yielded others having similar problems when upgrading to other, previous releases, although I've not come across any apparent fixes. It's suggested that an apt
upgrade could fix the problem, but I don't see a way to easily do that (it's up to date with the latest trusty package).
What should I do in order to upgrade directly to 16.04?
libkf5akonadisearch-bin
,compiz-core
,compiz-gnome
have broken meta data, though it's unclear whether that is so in the old ones or in the new ones. In case it's in the old packages, could you try removing the three temporarily and see if it helps?
