Well, Google pointed me to someone more clever than me:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/762084/problem-upgrade-15-10-to-16-04
( Now why didn't the do-release-upgrade process tell
me there was a /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log ?)
So, my problem seems to be:
$ grep ERROR /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log
2016-08-01 11:34:27,800 ERROR Dist-upgrade failed: 'The package
'kubuntu-desktop-trinity' is marked for removal but it is in the
removal blacklist.'
hmmm...
Well, I don't have too much time and grief invested in this install
so far... So, I'll drop to the command line, apt-get remove
kubuntu-desktop-trinity. Then try the sudo do-release-upgrade again.
If that flys, I'll reinstall kubuntu-desktop-trinity.
If ALL THAT works, I'll report back.

I don't see how any of the "This can be caused by" pertain.
I have done this process successfully with the _32bit_ Trinity LiveCD
Where to start?
