[ubuntu-studio-users] Offer to upgrade failed

[sciguy at vex.net]

Hi,

 

I am using Ubuntu Studio 16.04.xx, and I noticed that I was offered, through the “software updater”, an opportunity to upgrade to the next LTS version. I cliked the button that said “Update …”, and all the window does is disappear, with no further response. I have tried this several times.

 

I have had what I call minor problems with the software updater in the past, where it would say that update has failed for some unknown reason, I dutifully click “send report”, but in fact, the system was updated, but for a few Python packages which look old, and “blocked” from update.

 

It appears as if the “minor” problems may be causing update to fail. I cannot find any system log that tells me what crashed, although I managed to read one of my reports that Software Updater would send, and I remember seeing a message that apt had crashed (I recall it was apt and not aptd). I did not see information there that gave a reason.
