I run into the same error over and over when I tried up upgrade to 20.04 LTS.

I'm stuck with this LXD Error, can't redo, uninstall or update my system :-/

Error Message:

==> Installing the LXD snap from the 4.0 track for ubuntu-18.04
error: requested a non-existing branch on 4.0/stable for snap "lxd":
       ubuntu-18.04

  • Hello, it's running in a error asking for trying "apt --fix-broken install" and that lead's to the same error as above

    @quadcoretoaster I think the correct command should be "do-release-upgrade".
