Bug Description

Ran do-release-upgrade from 16.04 LTS Ubuntu terminal on WSL. The upgrade still appeared to work because I'm not on 18.04 LTS, but it threw this error nonetheless. I attempted to send a report through the command as well, but it also generated this link for me to go to so that's what I did. :)

Keep up the Awesome work all you Ubuntu devs!!!! ^.^

UPDATE! Oh my gosh, my Chrome crashed after writing the above while trying to attach a screenshot and I don't know if it was Chrome or your site, but whoever preserved the state of what I typed previously, I LOVE YOU!!! :P
