Situation

  When you want to do some operations in Ubuntu using apt/do-release-upgrade you receive the message:

"The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled"

Solution

 The solution that worked for me was to run this:

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d

for i in *.list; do mv ${i} ${i}.disabled; donated

apt clean

apt autoclean

sudo do-release-upgrade
