Perhaps. But if that were the case, I would expect -d to still upgrade to Focal as a "development" release when 'Prompt=lts' is set. On the day AFTER release (Apr 24), I was able to initiate an 18.04 -> 20.04 upgrade using 'do-release-upgrade -d' and today, I am unable to do so meaning if I WANT to update my bionic systems to focal now, I have no mechanism to do so at all. I should be allowed to hang myself, accepting the risks of using -d in this context. In other words, Prompt=normal: `do-release-upgrade -d` should upgrade me from my release to the next development release (as soon as the development release is open for upgrading and testing). Prompt=lts: `do-release-upgrade -d` should upgrade me from the last LTS to the current LTS in the GA to .1 window, and once the .1 release is done, then `do-release-upgrade` and `do-release-upgrade -d` should function identically. As it stands the only option I can think of currently to upgrade a Bionic machine to Focal seems to be replacing all the bionic entries in sources.list with focal entries, and hoping apt-get doesn't do something silly. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
