[Bug 1874250] Re: do-release-upgrade fails 19.10->20.04 AttributeError: 'UbuntuDistroInfo' object has no attribute 'version'

[David S]

I ran your command:

python3 -c "import distro_info; print(distro_info.UbuntuDistroInfo().version('eoan'))"                      35.7s  Thu 23 Apr 2020 09:38:42 PM EDT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'UbuntuDistroInfo' object has no attribute 'version'

Basically, same error the installer gives me.
