Public bug reported:
Update Manager will read http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release and
sequentially try to access
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/EOLReleaseAnnouncement for new system's
release notes, however the file on
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/EOLReleaseAnnouncement is missing and
Update Manager will complain "Could not find the release notes - The
server may be overloaded" error message and stop the entire upgrade
process.
While this bug does appears on EOL release, it's still valid as EOL
Upgrade still needs to be working to upgrade to a supported release.
## Bug Reproduce Steps ##
1. Grab & install an EOL'd Ubuntu release(e.g. Ubuntu 14.10)
2. Switch software source to old-releases.ubuntu.com
3. Update software source cache and fully upgrade the system
4. Run Update Manger and hit the release upgrade button
## Workarounds ##
Use `do-release-upgrade` command instead, which don't check the release note
