[Bug 1823551] Re: unable to upgrade 16.04 -> 18.04

[Michael King]

/etc/apt/source.list offers no assistance; in addition, I modified
sources.list to use official endpoints, and got the same error.

Title:
  unable to upgrade 16.04 -> 18.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:

  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.
