Issue:
Issued command:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Receiving error:
"required dependency 'apt(>=1.0.10.2 ubuntu2)' is not installed."

Solutions:
Did you forget the sudo if you were still the regular admin user?

If not, make sure to have your latest package updates and use the -f install flag if needed.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo do-release-upgrade

If that still returns the same error, try using the -f flag:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get -f install
$ sudo apt-get -y install apt
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
