Hi, I have an Ubuntu 21.10 Instance on Multipass. Windows. I'm trying to upgrade to 22.04. "sudo do-release-upgrade." During installation, I get an error about dpkg.

Errors were encountered while processing:
update-notifier-common
ubuntu-server

So I ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a." Here's the error...

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up update-notifier-common (3.192.54) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

import chardet

I tried "pip3 install chardet." And "pip install chardet." It says it's installed correctly. In Python 3.10. I tried "--force-reinstallation." Same error. So how do I install chardet? And get my upgrade working? And dpkg --configure -a? I also tried "sudo apt --fix-broken install." It gave a dpkg error.

So, how do I finish my upgrade? And install chardet? PATH? Please reply. Thanks
 


You could try installing the following package.
Code:
sudo apt install python3-chardet
After that you could try running the first command you mentioned again.
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
 
you may want to consider upgrading also as 21.10 will reach EOL in July anyway.
