I'm trying to upgrade from 19.04 to 20.04 and I always get this:

ERROR: failed to read '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades': Source contains parsing errors: '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades' [line 11]: 'x# currently-running release.\n'

What can I do to fix this?

  • There is no upgrade path from 19.04 to 20.04. – Pilot6 Apr 25 '20 at 12:35
  • well I had seen them before, but as I'm stupid, I can't get what I should do to get my update manager to do what it should... – van chi Apr 25 '20 at 14:38
  • The only recommended way is to do a fresh install. The update-manager "should not" do what you want. – Pilot6 Apr 25 '20 at 14:39
  • Read your output: You have an error on line 11 of /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. Open that file in a text editor and fix it. – user535733 Apr 25 '20 at 15:24

I found this article which might be helpful: https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-ubuntu-version

Try doing:

sudo update-manager -d

This worked for me.
