Question
failed to upgrade ubuntu "Err Upgrade tool signature"
I was attempting to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, but do-release-upgrade threw this error:

Heya @dadwg,
It seems like you were unable to connect to the mirror - mirrors.digitalocean.com.
Are you by any chance using a Firewall that is filtering connections on port 80? This seems like an issue with exactly that.
When you do
apt updatedo you get the same error?
