Public bug reported: /usr/bin/hwe-support-status recommends installing the hwe of 18.04 when on 20.04
The system got upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 to 18.04 to 20.04. # uname -a Linux intern 5.4.0-58-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 9 08:16:25 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release: 20.04 Codename: focal # cat /usr/lib/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS" VERSION_ID="20.04" HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"; SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"; BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"; PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"; VERSION_CODENAME=focal UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal # /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd # /usr/bin/hwe-support-status You have packages from the Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) installed that are going out of support on 2025-04-30. To upgrade to a supported (or longer-supported) configuration: * Upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS by running: sudo do-release-upgrade -p OR * Switch to the current security-supported stack by running: sudo apt-get install and reboot your system. EXPECTED There shouldn't be an advice to install hwe of 18.04 being on 20.04. "sudo apt-get install" and "sudo do-release-upgrade -p" do nothing and they don't change the message. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1908794 Title: update-manager-core: hwe-support-status recommends 18.04 on 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1908794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
