Public bug reported:

I'm not sure why I didn't have it installed, but I didn't. Totally
possible I removed it at some stage and didn't notice. The error message
was a bit vague about it though:

After updating your package information, the essential package 'ubuntu-minimal' 
could not be located. This may be because you have no official mirrors listed 
in your software sources, or because of excessive load on the mirror you are 
using. See /etc/apt/sources.list for the current list of configured software 
sources.
In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade again 
later.

I've reinstalled ubuntu-minimal, and I"m still getting that error
message.

I changed mirrors, and it seems to be working now, although there might
be other variables at play.
