[Bug 1455548] Re: upgrade 14.10 to 15.04 can't install kubuntu-desktop

[Michael Lewis]

Brian,

Sorry, no can do!

I have backed off to 14.04 and am staying there until a resolution
occurs or the next release comes out. I can't afford the time for
upgrade/downgrade experiments - the loss of all desktop settings and the
need to re-install add-on packages manually during such a process is
extremely time consuming.

I only went up to 14.10 so I could "upgrade" (in place) to 15.04.

Is such an automated upgrade (single step) from 14.04 to 15.04 planned?

Regards, Mike Lewis
