  distribution upgrade bug - upgrading to 18.10

  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Cosmic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Without this, upgrades from Lubuntu 18.04 to 18.10 don't work properly
  and display an error as shown below.

  [Test Case]

  Using a Lubuntu 18.04 system, ensuring that "Prompt=normal" is set in
  /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades, run `do-release-upgrade -p`.

  [Regression Potential]

  Little to none. This could only regress if lubuntu-core was re-
  introduced into Cosmic, which is very unlikely at this point in time.

  [Original Description]

  Can't install 'lubuntu-core'

  It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as
  a bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.
