wowza stream engine 4.7.0 on ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, want to upgrade it to 16.04.3 LTS, so runing sudo do-release-upgrade, and reported error:
…
UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte
Checking the log (/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log), found wowza caused the error:

Should I remove wowza before do-release-upgrade and reinstall it after upgraded to 16.04.3 LTS? Thanks.
