I've installed 17.10 via DVD so the pressure is off me. I have no experience of the Ubuntu updating process, but to me it seems to be seriously flawed at the moment.
I have seen Release files in other Ubuntu archives, e.g. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/artful/Release so they must have a purpose. Has the script 'owner' been informed of the problem? What about the circular reference in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu? That can't be right. Does the 'owner' of the archive know of the problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743995 Title: Upgrade 17.04 to 17.10 not possible Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Expected: Upgrade 17.04 to 17.10 Result: E:The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' does not have a Release file.
