Hello,
As an important note, I always recommend taking a snapshot of your Droplet before doing a release upgrade in case that anything goes wrong.
Once you’ve done that you could try running the following commands in order to update your apt version:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get -y install apt
sudo do-release-upgrade
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
