The last comments in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update- manager/+bug/1908050 are about the crash report to which I allude in the bug description.
Additionally, Laney suggests that update-notifier shouldn't run when a dist-upgrade is in progress so that package should also be modified to check for this breadcrumb. ** Also affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1939616 Title: u-r-u should leave a breadcrumb indicating a dist-upgrade is in progress Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: New Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Looking at the source code of ubuntu-release-upgrader it looks like an environment variable, RELEASE_UPGRADE_IN_PROGRESS, is set when an upgrade is being performed. However, it would be better if there was an indication that other programs, e.g. apport, could use to tell whether or not a release upgrade was in progress. This came up as we saw some crash reports in the error tracker that didn't make sense and a possible explanation is that a release upgrade was in progress.
