I am trying to upgrade to a new release version following the instructions of the accepted answer here.
Someone mentioned in the comments section of the OP's question that you should change http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
so that's what I did. The current state of my sources.list file is as shown below.
When I try to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
, I get

What should I do?
old-releases
to bring your disco as far along as you can (sudo apt full-upgrade
). Then rundo-release-upgrade
to migrate to 19.10 ordo-release-upgrade -d
to migrate to 20.04. – user535733 May 15 '20 at 17:43do-release-upgrade
