Unable to upgrade Ubuntu to 18.10

[imaandrew]

I'm trying to upgrade ubuntu to 18.10. However, whenever I run sudo do-release-upgrade, it runs for a while and then I get the error:

Your system is unable to reach the snap store, please make sure you're connected to the Internet and update any firewall or proxy settings as needed so that you can reach the snap store

and dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-sZrp5N/6-lxd_1%3a0.4_all.deb (--unpack): new lxd package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

Please fill out the below information:

• Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18277.1000]

• What you're doing and what's happening:

1. sudo apt update && sudo dist-upgrade
2. sudo do-release-upgrade

• What's wrong / what should be happening instead:
  Upgrade completes without error

For future reference:
After aborting the do-release-upgrade script I was left with a working system, just had a broken lxd. These two lines fixed that:

sudo dpkg --force depends -P lxd
sudo dpkg --force depends -P lxd-client

Then sudo apt upgrade finishes up the upgrade

I tried to run those commands, but before the first one would work, I had to reinstall lxd. When it failed to connect and prompted abort/retry/ok, I selected ok, and then the dkpg commands worked and I was able to apt-get upgrade.

1. sudo apt update && sudo dist-upgrade

Should say sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade.
