[Bug 1981939] Re: sudo do-release-upgrade

[Chris Guiver]

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu 21.10 (impish) reached end-of-life on July 14, 2022.
Ubuntu 21.04 (hirsute) reached end-of-life on January 20, 2022.

See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Ubuntu 21.04 was not a LTS release; had one supported & quality-
assurance tested upgrade path; to Ubuntu 21.10 or the next release;
which closed the moment Ubuntu 21.10 reached EOL.

The upgrade path you're trying to use is not supported.

Use a LTS or long-term-support release if you don't wish to release-
upgrade every 6-9 months. Ubuntu 21.04 told you it was the 2021-April
release (ie. a year.month format is used with 2000 added to year)
meaning the 9 months supported life is pretty easy to calculate & thus
plan. If using a LTS release you have had 2-5 years and not 6-9 months
which is generally better for most users (eg. 20.04 LTS or the
2020-April release has support until 2025-April for standard support;
which can be extended via use of ESM too)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
