New release '16.04.6 LTS' available.
Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it.
When I run it, I get this error

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
