When checking the upgrade to zorin os 17, I got an error message with this: "[CHECKING:Simulating Apt Transaction] Fatal Error: { GDBus.Error:org.debian.apt.TransactionFailed: error-no-package: Package zorin-os-16-to-17-upgrade isn't available }"
This is the log:

Yes I have manually updated and upgraded via apt then checked the upgrade, but it still return the same error. I also tried install āzorin-os-16-to-17-upgradeā via apt but thereās no this package in the repository
Do you have in the Update Settings choose Main Server or a Regional Server? If You have choose a Regional Server You could change it to Main Server and then make sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and then look if works.
Review if you have installed any repositories that require a GPG key.
For example, some browsers require you to use curl in their instructions to obtain a key. Wine does this, as well.
In Software & Updates, under "Download from" - switch to Main Server.
Once done, close Software & Updates and allow it to refresh. In terminal run
Thanks, I tried this and no package is held. But the upgrader showed the same error.
I noticed apt said there is 1 package can't be upgraded, it's xdg-desktop-portal, so I tried to remove it, but it said some gnome extensions and the zorin sessions will be removed at the same time, so I can't do it. There's no other error returned by apt. Am I missed some repositories in the sources.list.d directory so I can't find the package zorin-os-16-to-17-upgrade?
Oh... It now works, it seems like I used a proxy for the ppa server cause I can't reach launchpad site in China. Now it works but the upgrader said it will remove some third-party ppa repositories but it's okay I can add them back after the upgrade.
Thanks very much.
Edit: After changing back the ppa URLs to ppa.launchpad.net, the simulated .list file changed from "focal" to "jammy" correctly. It seems that the upgrader used a replace command to change focal to jammy but it considered other content before the word "focal" so it didn't replace my proxied url proxy.ustclug.org (I used this replaced the default ppa url because I can't reach launchpad in China). Upgrader can use some other replace commands only change the word "focal" to "jammy" or just put the package build "zorin-os-16-to-17-upgrade" into the ppa repository of the focal version. Thanks.
