@Jean-Baptiste Lallement Thank you for the link in comment #12. I am now
successfully upgrading (fingers crossed) from Zesty to Artful.

In my opinion, the bug here is that once the distribution one is running
goes end-of-life, there is no user-friendly way to upgrade to the next
distro. Also in my opinion, the "update-manager -c" command should offer
the sources.list file modifications, or at least provide a link to the
page, instead of leaving users in the dark.

Opinion on this?
