I have been periodically trying to upgrade using the traditional way and every time I failed the same way I described above.
Until today (3/17/2019).
There was an automatic update (not upgrade) that happened that must have brought in the required fix.
I tried again. And, after 4 hours of file downloading and installing, lo and behold, I am now using 18.04 LTS.
I still want to know what was wrong that was fixed in the update. But if you saw the same error that I had, go ahead and upgrade now.
