Ubuntu – Can’t update Ubuntu from 17.04 to 17.10

17.0417.10do-release-upgradeupdate-managerupdates

I have tried using both GUI and terminal but the error occurs due to in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/artful/multiverse/binary-i386/by-hash/SHA256/d1f9e7ec6489f3540ddd3399c345799e46d2e1213570f510ca41bd12d5b9407e (link to this file is the second link in the log below as I can't have more than 2 links in a question yet) having wrong hash while its actual hash is 8da861b95323d6b98fdcc24324eee84baa90aa6159cf9b7134fe81432639e14e.

Part of the log where I most likely think error occurs when I do sudo do-release-upgrade :

Restoring original system state

I am sure there are no network issues. I have even tried to update my system using Live CD/ISO but those don't work either. The ISO doesn't have any cdromupgrade file and the Live CD when booted for some unknown reason grays out the update option leaving me with only the 2 erase options and something else option.

This answer solved the problem for me: askubuntu.com/a/779924/341706 . You just need to update with a different compression method. Thanks @c0smicVorTeX
