Public bug reported:
I have a held package on my system (because the newer upstream version
available in newer Ubuntu releases is unusably broken). As a result,
update-manager presents me the option to upgrade:
The software on this computer is up to date.
However, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is now available (you have 23.10).
If I choose to 'upgrade', the dialog disappears, and nothing else
happens.
If I run update-manager from a terminal, I see the following output:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
But update-manager is a graphical application. This information should
be shown in the GUI, not on the terminal which is normally not visible
to the user.
