Bug description:
  In bug 1068389 a user thought they were experiencing the same bug as
  that one but it was in fact different.  Their comment follows:

  I jist run "do-release-upgrade" and wait until i see

  Чтение временных файлов

  Проверка менеджера пакетов

  Продолжить работу через SSH?

  Этот сеанс запущен через ssh. Не рекомендуется выполнять обновление
  через ssh, так как в случае неудачи восстановление будет очень
  сложным.

  Если вы продолжите, дополнительная служба ssh будет запущена на порту
  «1022».
  Хотите ли вы продолжить?

  Продолжить [дН]

  and after that I enter letter "д" and it give me error:

  Произошла критическая ошибка

  Пожалуйста, сообщите об этой ошибке и включите файлы
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log и /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log в ваш
  отчёт. Обновление было отменено.
  Ваш оригинальный файл sources.list был сохранён в
  /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.
