[Bug 1488545] Re: Not possible to use release upgrader w/ Zorin OS because main is from a PPA

[Brian Murray]

Zorin OS seems to setup apt without main from the Ubuntu archive and
only main from a PPA. The release upgrader disables PPAs and then the
upgrade fails.

** Summary changed:

- Software update upgrade to higher ubunto invalade package infomation
+ Not possible to use release upgrader w/ Zorin OS because main is from a PPA

Title:
  Not possible to use release upgrader w/ Zorin OS because main is from
  a PPA

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  No valid mirror found

  While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the
  upgrade was found. This can happen if you run an internal mirror or if
  the mirror information is out of date.

  Do you want to rewrite your 'sources.list' file anyway? If you choose 'Yes' here it will update all 'saucy' to 'trusty' entries.
  If you select 'No' the upgrade will cancel. 

  Click "YES" Then

  Invalid package information

  After updating your package information, the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list for the current list of configured software sources.
  In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade again later.
