Public bug reported: I upgraded from a 14.04 release that had the various *-lts-vivid packages installed to 16.04 using do-release-upgrade -d.
After upgrading the apt cache is busted because none of the meta and xorg-core packages can get installed. t@t-XPS-13-9350:/var/crash$ sudo apt upgrade [sudo] password for t: Reading package lists...
