I have no idea if these issues are linked

1. If I have updates set to LTS Releases only, I am not offered 16.04.1.
2 I have a red triangle exclamation icon which warns "The update information is out of date. This may be caused by a network problem, or by a repository that is no longer available. Please update manually by selecting "show updates" from the indicator menu, and watching for any failing repositories." Doing so results in "The software on this computer is up to date".
3. Boot issues. Repeated attempts to boot result in "Operating system not found". Eventually it boots. Quick Disk check reveals no errors.

Any ideas?

2. Your repository is no longer available. 15.10 is past EOL.
3. Need more information. First smell seems like a hardware issue - the BIOS cannot find the partition with Ubuntu.

Troubleshoot your hardware first.
Upgrading Ubuntu while you have a hardware fault may be a waste of your time and effort.

Thanks. Yes, I was worrying about a potential hardware issue. But what? The hdd seems to check out.

If you have 15.04, that won't upgrade to 16.04.

If you have 15.04, that won't upgrade to 16.04.No -I have 15.10. It does offer 16.04.01,but only if set to"all upgrades".
