Public bug reported: I was trying to do a normal apt-get upgrade when I started to run into issues. I am not sure how to fix this since it is a system package. This system was upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04, but it was working fine for awhile.
I started in this thread, but I could not get it working. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2359412 This machine is now a Proxmox VM, so I have the option to do some testing with it. #: apt-get upgrade Reading package lists...
