Cannot upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 (No new release found)

Cannot upgrade from 16.04LTS to 16.10.


Updated and dist-upgraded the system and tried running do-release-upgrade -d but it says no release found. Ensured that the prompt=normal in the "/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" file.


Tried the same using the GUI of update-manager and changed the settings to "Notify for any new version" which is equivalent of prompt = normal and it says Your computer is up to date.


Also, all the necessary repos are present in the sources.lists.


I have recently upgraded a similar computer successfully which was quite straightforward. Cannot understand why this is happening even though the config files are similar and there are no problems in installing/updating using apt-get.


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)
