Upgrade to 18.04 LTS hangs on reading cache












0















I am trying to upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, but it hangs on "Reading cache":



$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [819 B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1,246 kB]
Fetched 1,247 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
authenticate 'bionic.tar.gz' against 'bionic.tar.gz.gpg'
extracting 'bionic.tar.gz'

Reading cache


The cursor sits blinking. Any idea what is wrong?
