Bug Description

do-release-upgrade fails. I'm told this may be because I have multiarch added arm64 support to do cross compilation to arm64 targets, and many mirrors only support amd64/i386 architectures.

Unfortunately, do-release-upgrade swaps out my sources.list, and there is no command line option to tell it to use the main ubuntu repository, so I have no idea how to work around this problem. Meanwhile, I'm now stuck with an old, unsupported OS version.

The do-release-upgrader seems to run in some sub-window mode where I can't scroll back, and thus can't copy/paste all of the output, but I captured the beginning and end bits.
