Public bug reported:
As a long-time-user of ?ubuntu, with apt-get as tool of choice for
updates/upgrades I wrote a daily script for updates, with 'dist-upgrade'.
In all earlier years, it wouldn't actually do an upgrade of a ?ubuntu version;
just all packages including new ones. Version updates had to be initiated
manually, and I was always asked if I really wanted the new ?ubuntu version.
Sounds appropriate.
Last night when it (dist-upgrade), it just gave me 20.04. No questions asked. I
for one consider this kind of intrusive, though.
It *might* have to make with me trying 'sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop' a
number of times earlier; just to *check* if the upgrade was on offer; but this
is only a guess.
In *any* case, a pop-up asking "Are you sure? Are you connected through
an adequate pipe? Are you sitting with full batteries; better a power
supply?" would be convenient; since I am using my PC for urgent duties,
and didn't want to fiddle with unexpected upgrade bugs.
