Ubuntu LTS release upgrades happen with the first dot release, IOW by default no upgrade to 16.04 will happen, the upgrade could be done as soon as 16.04.01 is released. >And when I try out sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is the everyday procedure to upgarde packages within a release, "dist-upgrade" indeed is a "smart" upgrade, since other than "upgrade" it tries to handle dependencies conflicts, however, both, "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" are using the repositories available by /etc/apt/sources.list. This file contains the repositories for the release you are running, to upgrade to the next release with "dist-upgrade", you would need to replace the old repositories, by the repositories for the next release. You don't need to do this by running "do-release-upgrade". If you would check ... [root@moonstudio ~]# do-release-upgrade -c Checking for a new Ubuntu release New release '16.04 LTS' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. ... you could see that the release is available. You're likely running an LTS, if not, you could upgrade ... [root@moonstudio ~]# do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198 B] Get:2 Upgrade tool [1265 kB] Fetched 1265 kB in 0s (0 B/s) authenticate 'xenial.tar.gz' against 'xenial.tar.gz.gpg' extracting 'xenial.tar.gz' /var/run/utmp: No such file or directory [screen is terminating] ... I interrupted the upgrade, since I'll stay with [root@moonstudio ~]# lsb_release -rc Release: 15.10 Codename: wily You could upgarde your LTS right now, by faking to upgrade to a development version sudo do-release-upgrade -d I guess the output of grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades must be either Prompt=normal or Prompt=lts but _not_ Prompt=never It might be required to edit it.
