Following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-22-04-jammy-jellyfish to upgrade Ubuntu but failed with the following ERROR message.
After updating your package information, the essential package
'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have
no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of
excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list
for the current list of configured software sources.
In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade
again later.
So, how should I modify /etc/apt/sources.list
in order to install jammy from focal?

Hi there,
There seem to have been a similar question here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/cannot-update-to-19-04-the-essential-package-ubuntu-minimal-could-not-be-located-2
The solution listed there was to use the following command:
UPDATE: In addition to the above, as reported by @studotson they had to use
RELEASE_UPGRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY=1 do-release-upgrade
instead, which worked for them.Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
