Public bug reported: I have summarized my problem in detail with screenshots here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/725547/i-am-recommended-to-upgrade- from-14-04-to-15-04-but-it-fails My ubuntu 14.04 amd64 continuously nags me about upgrading, but suggests an invalid upgrade path. The only possible upgrade path from 14.04 is via 14.10 but it suggests the invalid 15.04 instead as the next release. Every time I start the upgrade it fails promtly and since I have found no option to override which release to upgrade to I am effectively stuck on 14.04. So work-around would be a way to tell update-manager that I want to spesifically upgrade to 14.10 but I don't know how this can be done. (or fixing the bug that causes it to think that 15.04 is the best release to upgrade to). I have done the following while trying to fix this: sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade sudo aptitude dist-upgrade sudo aptitude clean sudo aptitude purge update-manager sudo aptitude install update-manager commented out all PPAs and old/legacy software sources ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:0.220.8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-76.120-generic 3.13.11-ckt30 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-76-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Tue Jan 26 00:09:55 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-07-14 (1290 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: ubuntu-release-upgrader UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-10-08 (474 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: mtime.conffile..etc.update.manager.release.upgrades: 2015-10-28T23:04:02.014699 ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug dist-upgrade trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1537943 Title: update-manager insists on updating from 14.04 to 15.04 when this is not possible.
