It looks like you don't have any of the -meta packages installed. Please
install one of them for ubuntu-release-upgrader to work. From the code:

# Distro contains global information about the upgrade
[Distro]
# the meta-pkgs we support
MetaPkgs=ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-core,
   xubuntu-desktop, ubuntustudio-desktop, mythbuntu-desktop,
   kubuntu-netbook, lubuntu-core, lubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-gnome-desktop
