Hi I am kinda new to Ubuntu. I am currently using Ubuntu 21.10 and trying to upgrade it to 22.04. When I enter

do-release-upgrade

It throws an error which is:

Checking for a new Ubuntu release Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore. For upgrade information, please visit: http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

I have tried to install all the upgrades. Then I tried to upgrade by entering

sudo apt upgrade

Then I encountered this error below:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 : Breaks: libtss2-esys0 (< 3.0.2-1) but 2.3.2-1 is to be installed
 libtss2-mu0 : Breaks: libtss2-esys0 (< 3.0.1-2) but 2.3.2-1 is to be installed

 libtss2-tcti-swtpm0 : Breaks: libtss2-esys0 (< 3.0.1-2) but 2.3.2-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I tried to update these package manually. Also tried to fix the E: Broken packages by using information from this website (https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-find-and-fix-broken-packages-on-linux/) but it did not work.

  • Does this answer your question? [How do I upgrade an end-of-life Ubuntu distribution?](https://serverfault.com/questions/622735/how-do-i-upgrade-an-end-of-life-ubuntu-distribution) – Gerald Schneider Sep 06 '22 at 07:46
  • For some reasons, whenever I try to use solutions from other postings, another error pops out. For example, due to permission issues, I cannot edit sources.list file. Somehow, I figured out that I can force to replace the sources.list file, it did not fix the problem... Also another issue popped up which is E: Broken packages by using information. I really do not know how to solve this problem. Should I just uninstall old version and install a new one? – user13316090 Sep 06 '22 at 08:09
  • It's impossible to say without seeing complete error messages and the configuration. For the future, you should stick to LTS releases to prevent such problems. – Gerald Schneider Sep 06 '22 at 08:57

Long story Short, I was able to upgrade my ubuntu from 21.10 to 22.04 LTS.

The most helpful website for me was

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

I followed instructions from the website step-by-step and was able to upgrade my ubuntu.

Thank you so much for you all's help and let me know if you all have any questions!
