I seem to have run into a workflow bug, with end of lifecycle with Ubuntu. I am getting the screenshot below. So I hit Upgrade... to upgrade it and then nothing happens.

So then I hit Upgrade... and nothing happens.

I googled and saw that I should run enter do-release-upgrade only to realize that that's basically running the same thing.

christopherwork@Chris-Gaming-Linux:~$ do-release-upgrade

Checking for a new Ubuntu release

Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore.

For upgrade information, please visit:

http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife



Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

It sounds like when I click Upgrade... it's actually running do-release-upgrade and then silently exiting? Either way this is super annoying, and seems like an obvious bug to fix.

With an obvious error comes an obvious fix. One of my packages was held back during apt upgrade

user@host:~$ sudo apt upgrade

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Reading state information... Done

Calculating upgrade... Done

The following packages have been kept back:

  libc++1

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

And apt dist-upgrade was not upgrading either.

user@host:~$ sudo apt dist-upgrade

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Reading state information... Done

Calculating upgrade... Done

The following packages have been kept back:

  libc++1

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

It had to be upgraded by installing it.

user@host:~$ sudo apt install libc++1

Reading package lists... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:

  libc++1-12 libc++abi1-12

Suggested packages:

  clang

The following packages will be REMOVED:

  libc++1-11 libc++abi1-11

The following NEW packages will be installed:

  libc++1-12 libc++abi1-12

The following packages will be upgraded:

  libc++1

1 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 25.6 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

After that do-release-upgrade worked.
