Public bug reported:
When I run the "Software Updater" from the menu, and the click
"Upgrade..." it will fail without any notification.
If I run it from the terminal, I get the reason why:
```
$ sudo update-manager
[sudo] password for user:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
```
This is the same error as when I run:
```
$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
```
I would expect the GUI should return this error in a dialog box instead
of just exiting silently.
```
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release: 18.04
```
```
$ apt-cache policy update-manager
