I upgraded recently to Byzantium, I actually had issues upgrading by changing the apt sources, and in the end had to upgrade by downloaidn the ISO file and making a live isntallation usnig a a partition on my USB key. This has the advantage of having a backup to fix issues wheneven they may arise.

So far things are working smoothly for me.
