Remember to run a normal “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade” first. Then simply answer yes to the question: <br> <br><pre> <br>While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the <br>upgrade was found. This can happen if you run an internal mirror or <br>if the mirror information is out of date. <br> <br>Do you want to rewrite your ‘sources.list’ file anyway? If you choose <br>‘Yes’ here it will update all ‘precise’ to ‘trusty’ entries. <br>If you select ‘No’ the upgrade will cancel. <br> <br>Continue [yN] <br></pre> <br> <br>The do-release-upgrade tool checks the list of official Ubuntu mirrors before running an upgrade. DigitalOcean’s mirror is an internal mirror so it is normal to see this prompt. I’ve upgraded a number of droplet from 12.04 to 14.04 with no issue. <br> <br>Looking at the extra information that you provided on the bug report, it looks like you have a virtualmin repository in you sources.list. That seems to be the real source of the problem where ubuntu-minimal can not be found. <br> <br>I just spun up two 12.04 droplets. One I immediately upgraded to 14.04. There were no issues at all. The next I installed virtualmin on. When I tried to upgrade it, I hit the same problem you described. I’d suggest opening a bug/support ticket with virtualmin. <br> <br>
Heres answer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1310816 <br> <br>Your /etc/apt/sources.list file only has entries for the main component of the archive with http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu/ which is not an official mirror of Ubuntu. Subsequently, the upgrade was unable to find the essential package ubuntu-minimal. You’ll need to either choose a different mirror or only use mirrors.digitalocean.com entries in your sources.list file and then respond Yes to the question about using an unofficial mirror and rewriting sources.list. <br> <br>YOu should make yourself as official mirror. No? Or mirror update requirements to meet. <br>https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors#Country_mirror_requirements
Hello, long dead thread but I have been upgrading a bunch of old Ubuntu VM’s up the chain: 10.04 to 12.04 and onto 14.04 etc… I found a few answers and will compile them here.
I saw the error mentioned in this thread and it was tied to 3rd party packages. The fix was:
Create or edit an existing file named unauth.cfg. It should be located in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.d/
In that file put this, it can be the only thing in it.
[Distro] AllowUnauthenticated=yes
No service restart is needed, just do your upgrade commands again.
Next was old releases that had been retired (like 10.04, btw you cannot upgrade to 12.04 from Maverick, it isn’t supported). The fix for this is to edit the sources.list file and replace all repositories (country_code.archive.ubuntu.com, archive.ubuntu.com, security.ubuntu.com) with old-releases. Verify the ftp site is still valid before using but the command should look like this:
sudo sed -i -re ‘s/([a-z]{2}.)?us.archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g’ /etc/apt/sources.list
You can see above I was using us.archive… but it could be ca.archive…, cn.archive… or just archive.ubuntu.com etc… You can examine the file if you don’t know what repository you use by looking at:
/etc/apt/sources.list
It doesn’t hurt anything to run the command multiple times as it only changes what is specified or doesn’t do anything if they aren’t found.
This fix also lead to another issue, out of data GPG keys. The fix for this is:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
Where the hex # is the one in the error message as it won’t always be 40976EAF437D05B5 that I received and used in the example above. Though this key is quite common.
Finally I ran into an issue I haven’t solved but from what I read it is tied to either a kernel version problem or a grub problem. On reboot after upgrading to trusty the bootloader hangs with a blinking cursor and or a colored box. Suggestions like apt-get clean, editing grub with acpi=force did not work for me. People have claimed success by using shift to get into the grub loader interface and choosing and older kernel. I cannot get into it on the VM’s so cannot verify.
