** Description changed: The update-manager tries to update from 12.04 to 12.10 but this seems to fail, because it's no longer supported, instead it should update to 14.04. Steps to reproduce: 1. Buy a dell laptop with ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed 2. Run sudo do-release-upgrade or update manager gui Current result: sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release Err Upgrade tool signature 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] Err Upgrade tool 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.201 80] Fetched 0 B in 0s (0 B/s) WARNING:root:file 'quantal.tar.gz.gpg' missing Failed to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem. Expected result: Ability to upgrade to either 12.10 -> 13.04 -> 14.04 or upgrade directly from 12.04 -> 14.04 a direct upgrade path seems better. Additonal information of affected system: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
