** Description changed: - ubuntu-release-upgrader used lsb-release to determine the version of + ubuntu-release-upgrader uses lsb-release to determine the version of Ubuntu the system is running, however no double checking is done. As we can see in bug 1725176, the user installed the version of lsb-release from Ubuntu 17.04 although they are running Ubuntu 16.10. The release- upgrader tries to upgrade them from zesty to artful but this fails as their /etc/apt/sources.list is full of yakkety entries and everything ends up being disabled. The release upgrader should likely confirm they either have their releases lsb-release installed or double check that their /etc/apt/sources.list matches the release lsb-release returns. I'll also use this as a tracking bug to find out how many people this is affecting.
