description |
On a bionic system with Prompt=lts set in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, 'do-release-upgrade -d' fails with:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Upgrades to the development release are only
available from the latest supported release.
$ echo $?
1
$
The refusal to upgrade is correct, but the message it gives is incorrect and gives no hint how to fix.
Since bionic is the latest release listed in https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts *and* in https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts-development, a more accurate explanation would be:
There is no development version of an LTS release available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release, set Prompt=normal. |
Impact
------
A confusing error message is returned if Prompt=lts is set and 'do-release-upgrade -d' is run.
Test Case
---------
N.B. The changed code will never be reached on an 18.10 unless you hack line 236 of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.py so that "self.new_dist = None'".
1) set Prompt=lts in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
2) run do-release-upgrade -d
3) Observe the error from the original description
With versions of update-manager and ubuntu-release-upgrader (which depends on the changes in update-manager) from -proposed you will instead see a message about "no development version of an LTS available" and details about how to modify Prompt.
Also note there is no independent test case for update-manager as it is now just exporting a new variable which is used by ubuntu-release-upgrader.
