アップデートのチェック

do-release-upgrade -c

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

とりあえず、LTSは最新なのでアップデートの必要は無い。どうしてもアップデートしたければ

/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades

のPromptをいじれ、とあるが、そんなことしてアップデートしてもシステムを破壊するだけである。

# Default behavior for the release upgrader.

[DEFAULT]
# Default prompting and upgrade behavior, valid options:
#
#  never  - Never check for, or allow upgrading to, a new release.
#  normal - Check to see if a new release is available.  If more than one new
#           release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
#           the supported release that immediately succeeds the
#           currently-running release.
#  lts    - Check to see if a new LTS release is available.  The upgrader
#           will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
#           the currently-running one.  Note that if this option is used and
#           the currently-running release is not itself an LTS release the
#           upgrader will assume prompt was meant to be normal.
Prompt=lts

いじってはいけない。新しいリリースがあれば、

do-release-upgrade

で、アップデートできる。
