Question
do-release-upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 failed
- Posted on June 19, 2020

Asked by mike426137
Upgraded successfully from 16.04 to 18.04, then followed the tutorial for upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04. do-release-upgrade fails with “ERROR doUpdate() failed completely”. Lots of “ERROR IOError/SystemError”, but this one caught my eye:
ERROR IOError/SystemError in cache.update(): 'E:Failed to fetch https://repos.sonar.digitalocean.com/apt/dists/main/main/Contents-amd64.gz File has unexpected size (200 != 135). Mirror sync in progress? [IP: 151.101.17.7 443]
Where to start debugging this problem?

Hi there @mike426137,
I just tested the upgrade process with do-release-upgrade -d and it worked as expected.
I would recommend trying to run the following:
- Begin by updating the package list:
- sudo apt update
- Next, upgrade installed packages to their latest available versions:
- sudo apt upgrade
- Finally run the dist upgrade command again.
If you get any errors again, feel free to share them here so that I could advise you further.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
