I've understood that when I run the Software Updater GUI program, or when I execute do-release-upgrade on the command line, it should offer to upgrade to the latest LTS release if (1) I've got the release update behaviour set to lts, and (2) if the first point release of a newer LTS release is available.


I have a couple of machines running the Xubuntu LTS release 18.04. The contents of file etc/update-manager/release-upgrades on all these machines is


[DEFAULT]

Prompt=lts

That satisfies condition (1). Also, it seems that Xubuntu 20.04.1 is already released, satisfying condition (2). However, neither do-release-upgrade nor the Software Updater offers to upgrade to that release. Why?


Edited to add: It seems this question is a duplicate of "Why isn't an upgrade to 20.04 from 18.04 available yet?".

  1. The Ubuntu Release Team has delayed point releases in the past to ensure a safe transition for the largest number of folks.



  2. In this case, 20.04.1's release took place on a Thursday. The Release Team has historically been (understandably) reluctant to enable upgrades for millions of machines right before they leave for the weekend.



  3. Some systems cannot be upgraded quite yet due to blocking bugs
