[Bug 1743995] Re: Upgrade 17.04 to 17.10 not possible

[Otto]

I've installed 17.10 via DVD so the pressure is off me. I have no
experience of the Ubuntu updating process, but to me it seems to be
seriously flawed at the moment.

I have seen Release files in other Ubuntu archives, e.g. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/artful/Release
so they must have a purpose. 

Has the script 'owner' been informed of the problem?

What about the circular reference in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu?
That can't be right. Does the 'owner' of the archive know of the
problem?
