Hi
I understand that the new installation image has been around for some time, but my "Software updater" has not acknowledged any such upgrade to Ubuntu Studio 16.x. The Software updater is in fact set up to detect full version upgrades.
Is the updater broken? I have heard people bypassing the software updater with apt-get. When I run do-release-upgrade, I get:
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
And when I try out sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I get an output which appears at 3Mb to be too small for a serious version upgrade:

So I am rather confused as to the right way to do the upgrade. Installing 3.6Mb of archives doesn't sound like much of an upgrade. Anyone have ideas as to how to do this?
