I also have this Problem.

~$ update-manager -V
update-manager: version 0.81

Also tried this one:
~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
told me to report /var/log/dist-upgrade/[apt|main].log
so i looked into them.

/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log ends with a line as follows:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade'

so i looked up the file:
~# file /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade 
/etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade: broken symbolic link to 
`../mods-available/proxy.conf'

so i tried to lookup the Package which should contain this file.
~# dpkg -S /etc/mods-available/proxy.conf
dpkg: /etc/mods-available/proxy.conf not found.

"mods-available" looked some kind of familiar to me so i did:
~# dpkg -S mods-available | grep proxy
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_ajp.load
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_ftp.load
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_connect.load
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_balancer.load
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.load
apache2.2-common: /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_http.load

could it be that the update-manager has anything to do with the apache 
web-server?
i tried to reset the broken symbolic link.
~# mv /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade.buggy
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade
now i retried:
~# do-release-upgrade

seems to work now. As my System is about to upgrade at the moment, i have to 
finish this report.
All i changed, was that broken link.
I don't understand, why apache-config-files are needet, but something works 
better now!
