Bug Description
Noticed the automatic updates/upgrades are not coming in anymore. Seems Impish is EOL. Which is fine, we then run a release upgrade. But that is refused, since it requires latest versions/nicely upgraded. That is not possible as all Release Files are no longer available. So can not 'apt update', can not 'apt upgrade' hence can not 'do-release-
From the error messages, started removing Repositories, but now the entire installation is broken. Re-install latest is only option. No fun.

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 21.10 (impish) reached end-of-life on July 14, 2022.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https:/
Yes Ubuntu 21.10 is EOL, it was announced
- https:/
- https:/
The EOL means you need to modify your sources as is documented here - https:/
Take note of the warnings about EOL, or note it in the initial release notes of the release, so you release-upgrade before EOL is reached.
I've marked this incomplete as it's an EOL release, and appears to be a support issue, also documented procedures for EOLUpgrades appears not to have been attempted.
I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https:/
