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

My version is 14.04 already

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 This question is outdated, but you can just change the version numbers as the links should still be the same.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:

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 This question is outdated, but you can just change the version numbers as the links should still be the same.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
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

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.

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
I have deleted my answer now as I have found somebody more able to help who will post an answer soon.
