Blog: Upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS apt problem

Thursday, November 14, 2019

I want to upgrade my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS :

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

To 16.04 LTS.

I ran the command do-release-upgrade but I got this error :

The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed.

So I did a apt full-upgrade cause apt-get dist-upgrade didn't find any updates followed by apt-get update

And than I ran the release upgrade and I got hit by the same error.

P.S : The version of ubuntu now is like the first time 14.04 LTS, so no 14.04.X

What should I do ?
