[Bug 1344762] Re: update-notifier tells me to upgrade from 12.04.4 LTS to 14.04 LTS (because of HWE), but that release is not found

[Steve Langasek]

Thanks for the report.  You're right, do-release-upgrade to 14.04 will
not be enabled until the 14.04.1 point release comes out, this coming
Thursday.

I'm not sure there's anything we'll do with this bug other than just
wait for 14.04.1 to come out, but I'm assigning to Michael Vogt in case
he has any bright ideas about something else we might do here.

Title:
  update-notifier tells me to upgrade from 12.04.4 LTS to 14.04 LTS
  (because of HWE), but that release is not found

Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I logged into my server, I was greeted with this message:

  """
  Your current Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is going out of support
  on 08/07/14.  After this date security updates for critical parts (kernel
  and graphics stack) of your system will no longer be available.

  For more information, please see:
  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL

  To upgrade to a supported (or longer supported) configuration:

  * Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS by running:
  sudo do-release-upgrade 

  OR

  * Install a newer HWE version by running:
  sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-trusty linux-image-generic-lts-trusty

  and reboot your system.
  """

  Now, that is no problem, so I ran:
    % sudo do-release-upgrade
  and got this message:
  """
  Checking for a new Ubuntu release
  No new release found
  """
