Ubuntu Upgrade 16.04 -> 16.10 Fails with Forbidden IP Error
-
So, on the heals of my last thread, I wanted to at least spend some time upgrading some of my Linux VMs to 16.10 and am running into an issue. When attempting to run the do-release-upgrade, I am getting this error...
Err Upgrade tool 403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.88.162 80] Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [836 B] Fetched 836 B in 0s (0 B/s) WARNING:root:file 'yakkety.tar.gz' missing Failed to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.Now I know that's not my IP. I've also just completed apt-get update so network connects out ok. Not sure what would cause this error. It is the same error I get no matter which VM I attempt it on if it is running 16.04, it won't allow this upgrade to run. I've also made sure that Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.
Any ideas?

most likely a bad mirror. clear the apt cache and do it again.

Hey Jared. No luck with that either.
-
You could forcibly change the mirror that it is trying to use. Try a normal apt-get update to see what it sees.

apt-get update
Yeah that works no problem at all.
-
Hmmm... it might be that the file is missing from that mirror, but that alone would not give a 403 error.
-
This was the issue I believe I spent quite a bit of time on.
Solution. Forget it,... In my case it was a VM - and was the UniFi Controller. I made a back up, and started fresh.
However - You may not have that option.

@gjacobse I think in this case it's definitely doable for me to just start from scratch. It's a small web app that could be migrated easily but I was hoping to have this easy one to test the upgrade process before I moved on to some of the more complicated VM where doing a backup/restore is a bigger deal.
I'll keep poking at this one for a while and see if I can figure out why it's failing before giving up and moving to starting from scratch.

Do you have some sort of proxy?
Have you tried just doingapt-get upgraderather than do-release-upgrade? -

@JaredBusch
right, just to see if it can do updates at all or if it is only distribution upgrade that is failing -
@momurda Yes, I was able to successfully run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade without any issues so I'm sure it isn't a connectivity issue on this end.

Just summarizing this guide here. (assuming you don't want to be on the development release I've omitted it)
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
sudo nano /etc/upgrade-manager/release-upgradesprompt=normalsudo do-release-upgradeShould do it for you.

Sadly, those are exactly the steps I've taken which got me to this point.

@NashBrydges Were you running the development version of 16.04 before?
-
@DustinB3403 16.04 LTS.

@DustinB3403 16.04 LTS.
That's the first you mentioned LTS, and this is likely the culprit. The 16.10 upgrade isn't going to be in the repo's for 16.04 LTS.
-
@NashBrydges Try the steps outlined here for upgrading from LTS.

Those are the exact same steps you've listed a few posts above. That's the process I followed where I got the error.

Ummmm what? That is the point of telling it to use normal and not LTS.....
Also 16.04 is LTS in all versions whether you upgraded to it or installed it orgiinally.
