[Bug 1837754] [NEW] The upgrade has left the recorded Ubuntu version unchanged

[Norman Gregory]

Public bug reported:

The upgrade was said to be from Ubuntu 18 to Ubuntu 20.

During the Upgrade the screensaver changed and I assumed that all was
well. Today I was prompted to backup and found that my normal automatic
back up was not working and needed to be changed from disk to Google
cloud.

Trying to avoid this I got lost but found that the System summary was still showing Ubuntu 18.
I am now being prompted to upgrade to Ubuntu 19.

Is it safe to attempt to upgrade to 19 ??
