[Bug 1906097] [NEW] can not do a release upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04

[Hans Winter]

Public bug reported:

when runnuning 
do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3

upgrade installation fails


1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release:	18.04

2) do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3

3) I expect getting upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04

4) Distribution upgrade fails:
Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 This was caused by:
 * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, 
please try again later.
If none of this applies, then please report this bug using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal. If you want to investigate this yourself the log files in '/var/log/dist-upgrade' will contain details about the upgrade. Specifically, look at 'main.log' and 'apt.log'.
