Im unable to update to Zorin 16 using the upgrade Zorin application.
it seems to be unable to find a Ubuntu stable release.
Do I just have to upgrade some packages?
Any ideas what could cause this?
This is my error log:

..Are these packages that could be "ring-fenced", or could they be removed manually to allow the upgrade? Don't press me on this.. I have no idea what I'm taking about...
This is the Name of the Repo. I don't know if You need this but You could delete it, make a sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and then try the Zorin 17 Upgrade again.
Thanks for your input.. Yeah, I initially only removed the repo (D'uh!), but them removed mono using " sudo apt remove mono-devel", however still no joy on the upgrade front -
Take a Look in the sorces.list.d Folder if there are Files from this Mono Repo and delete them. BUT BE CAREFUL: Look 2 or 3 times before You delete something. When you delete the wrong Stuff you could have even more Trouble. Then You should look in the keyrings Folder and the trusted.gpg.d Folder too if there are Files form this Repo. Here is the same: BE CAREFUL!
When You did that open the Terminal and type sudo apt update to update the Sources. And then You could try it again.
Another Solution would be: Save Your Data on an external Drive and make a fresh Install of Zorin 17.
Thanks, I'll proceed.. cautiously. I wanted to avoid the "fresh install" malarky as I have a quite a number of packages I use that I'd have to re-install. One thing that occurred to me is that I have both back-ups and "Timeshift" back-ups, the latter I took as I believe it allows packages to be re-instated, however, would I be able to do this if the Timeshift image was taken with the previous OS verson? Anywho, I'll have a rummage as you suggest and see what happens...
UPDATE: I've looked in sources.list.d and trusted.gpg.d and there's no entries/mention of anything with "mono" in it. However in Synaptic, I see all these:
To be honest I don't know. I would think that a Z16 Back Up would not work with Z17 because there are different Systems. But that are only my Thoughts. I don't know it.
If these Mono Stuff belongs to the Mono Thing what do You had installed I would say Yes. The libmono ... A little bit difficult. When You uninstall it You should look if it deletes something with it what could be important for the Zorin System. Because when You uninstall the wrong Stuff ... that could be bad.
..when I try to fix them (so I can "start again"), I get the following messages: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies
..looks like a full re-install might be on the cards, but it's a bit disappointing, I'd waited for the upgrader to become live, and clicked it with great enthusiasm, but heigh-ho... I think the most annoying thing is that I believe Mono was installed to support running something under Wine, but that never worked either..
Sorry that I wasn't a great Help. You can try the Command from @Aravisian. Maybe that helps. And if not ... See it like this: When You make a fresh Install You are lose old File-Ballast and have then a clean System.
Thanks for that.. I ran this, then the suggested follow on "sudo apt autoremove" and all the Mono packages and twiddly-bits were expunged. Mmm.. expunged.. Where was I? Oh yeah, then I tried the upgrader again, but I still get this at the bottom of the logfile:
God! It's just "amateur night" with me.. Shoulda thought of that.. Anywho, I dunnit and same error on the upgrader. Time for me to stop bugging people and just do a full reinstall, methinks, altho' I'm intrigued as to why it won't work through the upgrader, and mebbe all this will help refine the tool...
