[Bug 1536313] [NEW] Upgrading from 14.04 LTS to 14.10 point release: Failed to Calculate Upgrade

[MathUHenry]

Public bug reported:

Upgrade options from the current LTS are for either the next LTS or the
subsequent point release. The next LTS is not yet available and the
subsequent point release is "failing to calculate", presumably because
it is no longer supported. If my interpretation of the problem is
correct, then that suggests an end-user design flaw, id est: There is a
(large) window of time in which the LTS may be upgraded. Beyond that, if
new features are needed, upgrading is no longer an option and a complete
reinstall is required.
