(This question was not resolved. Due to time constraints Computer was restored to factory settings.)



I was attempting to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, but apt threw this error:

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?



When I type in the command apt-cache policy apt

I've had the exact same problem today.
Make sure your version is the latest Ubuntu 14.04 version before the upgrade. (Ubuntu 14.04.4 at this time)



Mine was stuck to Ubuntu 14.04.3 due to a bad mirror.



So first run:



sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade


Make sure the version is now Ubuntu 14.04.4 (update September 2016 : Ubuntu 14.04.5).



cat /etc/lsb-release



And start Ubuntu 16.04 installation with



sudo do-release-upgrade -d

    The minor version (see .3 and .4 after 14.04) is the important point. If you already had 14.04.4, the apt and dpkg would be the right version already.

Best to always update through the normal procedures of:



sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade




If the above fails, then you can step manually through the following. This question is outdated, but you can just change the version numbers as the links should still be the same.



To upgrade your version of apt from a terminal window, type in the following:



sudo apt-get download apt


if the above doesn't work, you can also download it with wget by running the following line:



wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb


then type in



sudo dpkg -i apt*.deb




Just tried this on my system here. Here is the output:



terrance@terrance-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get download apt
[sudo] password for terrance:
Get:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main apt amd64 1.0.1ubuntu2.17 [954 kB]
Fetched 954 kB in 0s (1,127 kB/s)
terrance@terrance-VirtualBox:~$ ls
apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb Documents examples.desktop Pictures Templates
Desktop Downloads Music Public Videos
terrance@terrance-VirtualBox:~$ sudo dpkg -i apt*.deb
(Reading database ... 168376 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb ...

Setting up apt (1.0.1ubuntu2.17) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.7) ...




If After the steps described you see a fail due to a missing dpkg dependency you can just finish by repeating the steps with dpkg and ..



wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.18.24ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i dpkg_1.18.24ubuntu1_amd64.deb


All of the packages that are available to Ubuntu can be found here:



http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/

Simple fix...Which has worked for me...



Open your Synaptic Package manager type "apt" in search box that will show you the current installed version of apt lets assume "1.0.1ubuntu1.13" just right click on it and click mark for upgrade then click apply button at the top.



after upgrade..



Make sure to close the synaptic package manager before going to run your



final command



sudo do-release-upgrade  


and it should work..

    I got this error message and a very simple

    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade

    solved it. The other answers are wildly innacurate -- for example the one talking about moving Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 14.04.4 via dist-upgrade -- but dist-upgrade moves to the next Ubuntu version, not minors. Minors are just a released collection of specific package versions anyways, simply by keeping your packages up to date you get at least those versions or newer. Do not run dist-upgrade unless you know what you are doing.

      Best to always update through the normal procedures of:



      sudo apt update
      sudo apt dist-upgrade




      If the above fails, then you can step manually through the following. This question is outdated, but you can just change the version numbers as the links should still be the same.



      To upgrade your version of apt from a terminal window, type in the following:



      sudo apt-get download apt


      if the above doesn't work, you can also download it with wget by running the following line:



      wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.1ubuntu2.17_amd64.deb

      Simple fix...Which has worked for me...



      Open your Synaptic Package manager type "apt" in search box that will show you the current installed version of apt lets assume "1.0.1ubuntu1.13" just right click on it and click mark for upgrade then click apply button at the top.



      after upgrade..



      Make sure to close the synaptic package manager before going to run your



      final command



      sudo do-release-upgrade  


      and it should work..

              I got this error message and a very simple

              apt-get update
              apt-get upgrade

              solved it. The other answers are wildly innacurate -- for example the one talking about moving Ubuntu 14.04.3 to 14.04.4 via dist-upgrade -- but dist-upgrade moves to the next Ubuntu version, not minors. Minors are just a released collection of specific package versions anyways, simply by keeping your packages up to date you get at least those versions or newer. Do not run dist-upgrade unless you know what you are doing.
