Asked by Lindroos Hsu on 2021-02-16

I tried to do the version upgrade as the title said.

while doing this command:

sudo do-release-upgrade --mode='server'

it will output as below

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/focal/

there does not contain any binary-arm64 folder,
but the release note said there should be

The archive.ubuntu.com repository server contains only the packages for amd64 and i386 architecture.
The packages for other processor architectures are on the ports.ubuntu.com server.

The problem that you see is not related to a release upgrade, but your package management system seems to be wrongly configured such that even a normal package update does not work.

What is the output of the commands

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
dpkg --print-architecture
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
sudo apt update
cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list

Lindroos Hsu (tommady) said : #4

thank you Manfred Hampl, you mentioned a very important point,
arm64 is under ports.ubuntu.com domain name

so I change back the source.list from old-release.ubuntu.com to ports.ubuntu.com

then its success.

thanks again!
