Upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 successful, but it failed actually?

Question

I'm having weird issues after an upgrade from 14.04.5 to 16.04.1.

Here is what I get from sudo apt-get update:

Please tell me what is going on and how to fix it. As I said from the beginning of the post, it upgraded to 16.04 successfully. Here is the output of lsb_release -a:

NOTE: As far as my understanding and after my investigation. My repositories aren't causes to this problem. WHY? Check the comment below, from 10k reputation user.

you can start with this article usually lots of this issues would happen when upgrading from previous version of OS to a newer because lots of packages from previous version are incompetible with newer OS version that might lead to various conflicts and it's better to disable manually added repositories when doing distro upgrade. — JoKeR, Sep 09 '16 at 02:56
Looks like the Apt sources might not have been updated correctly during the release upgrade. Could you please include the full output of sudo apt-get update (either directly or as a link to a pastie) in your question? The content of /etc/apt/sources.list might help too. Thanks. — David Foerster, Sep 10 '16 at 19:36
@DavidFoerster : I've update the question. Please check, thank you. — Toan Nguyen, Sep 12 '16 at 08:45
Some fundamental packages util-linux and the Debian package manager seem to be broken in one way or another. I recommend that you download the relevant binary packages built from the source packages glibc, util-linux and dpkg and install them manually with dpkg -i. — David Foerster, Sep 12 '16 at 19:22

it looks like you have a lot third party repositories enabled and one of them has some broken packages in it, its quite likely that will be fixed in a few hours or days.

If you want to fix it now go in to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and comment the extra repositories out. This should get you back to the point there apt-get update works again.

When that has completed do an apt-get upgrade and then re-add the repositories one by one until the breakage comes back and you will know where its come from. Then you can report the bug to the repo maintainer and re-enable when its fixed.

I've upgrade another server from 14.04 to 16.04 successfully with same repositories. – Toan Nguyen Sep 13 '16 at 03:29
dont forget that repo's are moving targets and could well have changed since you did the other server. I haven't seen this problem in the main 16.04 repos – Amias Sep 13 '16 at 10:19
Please check the comment of David under my question. Do you think that can solve my problem? Because I don't think the problem came from repo. – Toan Nguyen Sep 14 '16 at 00:45
honestly I don't understand why people keep upvoting this... – Toan Nguyen Sep 16 '16 at 02:01
i saw Davids comment , look at the packages he links to , go to their bug reports section , they are either old ubuntus or i386. Its possible you might hit some of them if your system was upgraded to 14.04 from previous releases but very unlikely. – Amias Sep 16 '16 at 09:58
