[Bug 2128659] [NEW] Upgrade from plucky to questing is blocked

[Alex Lowe]

Public bug reported:

(This should probably be filed in meta-release, but it doesn't have a
bug tracker.)

Right now there's no way to do an in-place upgrade from plucky to
questing without modifying the meta-release settings

Questing is not yet marked as supported in
https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release so the standard do-release-
upgrade just returns nothing, but Resolute has been added to development
(https://git.launchpad.net/meta-
release/commit/?id=e1af75b3fb362b21922e990e9e85f2665047b116), so passing
-d gets you "Upgrades to the development release are only available from
the latest supported release."

WORKAROUND:

As a workaround, you can edit /etc/update-manager/meta-release to set
the development line to simply be:

URI_UNSTABLE_POSTFIX =

and then use -d
