Ran that command and got an error message.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.

I ran that command and then reran the update commands.  Those commands ran for
about 15 minutes and ended without any errors I cound see.

That command gives the following error message.

E: Invalid operation do-release-upgrade

Rebooted the system and tried the command again with the same error message.

The "For any new version"  option was already set.
