My system keeps telling me that it can only form a partial upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10. I have a fairly standard Ubuntu installation. How can I have the system show me what the issues are, so that I can resolve them and perform a full upgrade?
Answer
This command should resolve the issue for the proposed partial upgrade.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then go ahead and try the upgrade and see proposed updates for the system.
See what sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
has to say. After you run dist-upgrade say NO to upgrade, and see what the output says.
If its agreeable do that again this time answering yes.
