I want to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

First I run

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Then I checked Ubuntu running version:

cat /etc/lsb-release

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS"

and then I started Ubuntu 16.04 installation with

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

which threw the following error:

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

I know that first I need to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS and then to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. But unable to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS. I would highly appreciate if someone help me in this regard. Thanks

I tried:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get -y install apt
sudo do-release-upgrade

But still getting the same error. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Waow.I didn't know about this method.I thought the upgrade will only be done when the software updater states that a new version of ubuntu is ready.. – john400 Aug 20 '16 at 06:04

Check this question and it's solution. It will be solved. Make sure you first upgraded to 14.04.4 using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then do the do-release-upgrade – Anwar Aug 22 '16 at 14:31
