** Description changed:

- I have no further information to give at this time except to say that
- there were several errors during the upgrade process from 14.04.
+ Test Case:

+ 2. Install ca-certificates-java and man-db
+ 3. Reboot
+ 4. Upgrade to 16.04 LTS with do-release-upgrade and proceed with the upgrade
+ 
+ Actual Result
+ Upgrade fails with
+ Removing ca-certificates-java (20130815ubuntu1) ...
+ Removing openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (7u151-2.6.11-2ubuntu0.14.04.1) ...
+ dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
+  chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
+   man-db -> ca-certificates
+  packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
+   ca-certificates: update-ca-certificates
+   man-db: /usr/share/man
+ dpkg: error processing package ca-certificates (--remove):
+  triggers looping, abandoned
