[Bug 1799710] Re: 18.04->18.10: update-manager don't show upgrade page

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ do-release-upgrade checks to see if you have all available updates installed before allowing you to upgrade to the next release, however it doesn't take into account phased-updates subsequently it forces you to install updates which are under phasing (or have stopped phasing) before upgrading. This is not ideal as updates have stopped phasing for a reason and may end up negatively affecting your system before the release upgrade.

+ 1) Install all available updates for your release using update-manager (which respects phasing)

  Hello,
  
  I want to upgrade to 18.10.
  So I start update-manager GUI then update some packets.
  At End it ask me if I want to upgrade. I answer Yes.
  But update-manager close. Nothing happens.
  
  I run it under terminal and get this message:
  Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
  
  Why GUI don't show this before close?
