[Bug 1855472] Re: Update Notifier gives me the option to upgrade to 19.04, but not to 19.10.

[Steve Langasek]

Sorry, but this works as designed.  Once 19.04 has reached end of life,
then you will be offered the upgrade directly to 19.10 instead of via
19.04; but in the meantime the supported upgrade path is stepwise to
19.04 and 19.10.

Since you are on 18.04, if you don't want to follow the 6-monthly
releases every six months, it is recommended that you stick with the LTS
anyway until 20.04 comes out (and if you have Prompt=lts in /etc/update-
manager/release-upgrades, you will not be offered the upgrade to the
6-monthly releases).

Title:
  Update Notifier gives me the option to upgrade to 19.04, but not to
  19.10.

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When I attempted to the latest version of Ubuntu, I was presented with
  the opportunity to update to Ubuntu 19.04. However, 19.10 is the
  latest and 19.04 is losing support. Update Notifier should have given
  me a direct update path to 19.10, not to 19.04.

  Expected Results:
  I am given a direct path to upgrade to Ubuntu 19.10

  Actual Results:
  I am given a path to Ubuntu 19.04, which is an interim release, and not even the latest one.
