[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Erich, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader into questing-proposed. The package
will build now and be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:25.10.9
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
questing to verification-done-questing. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-questing. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

Title:
  [SRU] kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade erroneously calls "-m"

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Questing:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Resolute:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Testing Kubuntu or Ubuntu Studio upgrades is done in a wrapper script
  called kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade. Currently, if a developer wishes
  to upgrade Questing to Resolute in a test, they are unable.

  -m was deprected in plucky. It was removed, but not from questing and,
  therefore, is bugged there.

  [Test Case]

  From a terminal in Ubuntu Studio or Kubuntu 25.10, run:

  kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade

  Expected: pkexec prompt and subsequent KDE frontend for the release
  upgrader.

  Actual: do-release-upgrade: error: no such option: -m

  [What could go wrong]

  There could be typo in the MP, but I doubt it. The solution is simply
  to remove `-m desktop` from the command line, which appears to be done
  in the code, but it was never released.
