[Bug 1575126] [NEW] Upgrade from Wily to Xenial failed : "Could not install gconf2"

[Adrian Wilkins]

Public bug reported:

Used the GUI to upgrade from Wily to Xenial.

Upgrade process stops with a dialog saying

---

Could not install 'gconf2'

The upgrade will continue but the 'gconf2' package may not be in a
working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed

---

Closing this results it in opening again in an infinite loop.

Looks like it may be a regression of any of #961582, #1162124, #1165172

Have enclosed contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade, will then kill process
and try manually fixing with

sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
