[Bug 1609796] Re: cant upgrade EOL 15.04

(cleaning up ~ubuntu-release bugs)

I don't think there's anything for the release team to do right here, so
I'm unsubscribing the team. This would probably be for Brian or the
foundations team to fix if they decide to do so - or of course anybody
else could come to contribute a solution.

Title:
  cant upgrade EOL 15.04

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  A user in #ubuntu complained about no beeing able to upgrade his EOL
  15.04 (cloud) server install, so i made a 15.04 server install in vbox
  to test this scenario, and he is right:

  Running "sudo do-release-upgrade" results in: 
  "An upgrade from 'vivid' to 'xenial' is not supported with this tool."

  An EOL Upgrade with changing the sources.list to use the old-releases
  doesnt work since vivid is not moved to the old-releases yet: http
  ://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ .
