When I run update-manager on Trusty, I correctly get, "The software on this computer is up to date. However, Ubuntu 15.04 is now available (you have 14.04)."
do-release-upgrade doesn't work though, and 'do-release-upgrade -d' offers an upgrade to Utopic. $ sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [198 B] Get:2 Upgrade tool [1,221 kB] Fetched 1,221 kB in 0s (0 B/s) authenticate 'vivid.tar.gz' against 'vivid.tar.gz.gpg' extracting 'vivid.tar.gz' Reading cache Checking package manager Cannot upgrade An upgrade from 'trusty' to 'vivid' is not supported with this tool. $ do-release-upgrade -c -d Checking for a new Ubuntu release New release '14.10' available. Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it. ** Description changed: - Test Case - --------- - There isn't a great test case for the Vivid update-manager change as the change will only have an effect when W is unsupported. Having said that I did add a test to update-manager which verifies the logic of the change. Additionally, it would be good to ensure an offer to upgrade to Wily is given when running 'do-release-upgrade -d'. - - Regression Potential - -------------------- - If the patch is incorrect upgrades to the development release of Ubuntu won't be offered. There is a test for that and running 'do-release-upgrade -d' on Vivid will prove that it works. + [Impact] Currently, users of 14.04 LTS with /etc/update-manager/release- upgrades's prompt set to normal are offered to upgrade to the unsupported release 14.10. In the past when 13.04 became unsupported before 12.10 we offered upgrades from 12.10 to 13.10. Skipping an unsupported release also puts us in a better position to ensure LTS to LTS upgrades work. Subsequently, update-manager and ubuntu-release- upgrader should be modified so that users can upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04. + [Test Case] + + There isn't a great test case for the Vivid update-manager change as the + change will only have an effect when W is unsupported.
