doing a sudo do-release-upgrade actually works (doesn't hang) but fails with:
Could not calculate the upgrade
A unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
This can be caused by:

* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the
'update-manager' package and include the files in
/var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bugreport.
