Test Case:
1. Install Ubuntu server 14.04.5 + all the updates
2. Install ca-certificates-java and man-db
3. Reboot
4. Upgrade to 16.04 LTS with do-release-upgrade and proceed with the upgrade

Actual Result
Upgrade fails with
Removing ca-certificates-java (20130815ubuntu1) ...
Removing openjdk-7-jre-headless:amd64 (7u151-2.6.11-2ubuntu0.14.04.1) ...
dpkg: cycle found while processing triggers:
 chain of packages whose triggers are or may be responsible:
  man-db -> ca-certificates
 packages' pending triggers which are or may be unresolvable:
  ca-certificates: update-ca-certificates
  man-db: /usr/share/man
dpkg: error processing package ca-certificates (--remove):
 triggers looping, abandoned




I have no further information to give at this time except to say that there were several errors during the upgrade process from 14.04.
