So the problem was actually xenial missing from ubuntu_release_names in apt-cacher. All sorted now.
I upgraded, but there are a number of dependency issues at the moment. gdm3, gconf2, gnupg2 etc. See attached (main.log).
That log is not much use, probably the dpkg/apt logs will be more useful /var/log/apt/* /var/log/dpkg.log
After rebooting, you are left at the console which flashes for a while before timing out (trying to to start gdm3, but fails). There are just
over 500 entries for gdm3 failures.
What graphics driver are you using? Xorg was changed to run as non-root users, but apparently that breaks on any driver that doesnt support KMS
(which include Nvidia/AMD proprietry blobs, virtualbox and the old intel drivers that you get with 'nomodeset') in that case you need to install
xserver-xorg-legacy.
There also seems to be a gdm and gdm3 service as well, but this might be due to the dependency failures after upgrade as I don't have gdm on
my current xenial install.
you could try and run `sudo apt-get -f install ` hopefully that will resolve issue and finish configure. grab another copy of the above logs
after that.
once everything has upgraded completely (and reboot) gdm service will just be a symlink to gdm3
