I ran do-release-upgrade
and before it started downloading pressed Ctrl+C. When I ran the command again it mentioned:
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
I obliged (apt-get update
, apt-get upgrade
) but shortly after realized it was updating to Bionic. Here is the partial output of

Some packages of the new release are installed now. If I run
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -f
I get
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python-rna : Depends: libgsl2 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
Help needed!
apt update && apt upgrade
