Public bug reported:
On a fresh artful installation ubuntu-release-upgrader has this code in
DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeFetcher.py:
...
47 def runDistUpgrader(self):
48 # now run it as root
49 if os.getuid() != 0:
50 os.execv("/usr/bin/gksu",
51 ["gksu",
...
But gksu is not installed by default and u-r-u crashes if it is executed
as a non root user.
