Hi all,
I was looking to upgrade my VPS to the latest Ubuntu release this afternoon but ran across
a problem. Whenever I try to run "do-release-upgrade” I receive the following
error:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [836 B]

Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the
server.
Searching
online<http://askubuntu.com/questions/842706/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-if-i-…ed>,
this looks like it could be a problem with the xenial.tar.gz file on the local repo cache.
Has anyone else had similar problems, and if so, how did you resolve them?
I suppose beyond that, has anyone successfully upgraded their Ubuntu VPS to 16.04? Were
there any problems along the way?
Thanks,
Paul
