I want to update my VSP with Ubuntu 19.10 to the latest LTS release.

From this question, I've tried this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade

But I still get:

Checking for a new Ubuntu release Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore. For upgrade information, please visit: http://www.ubuntu.com/releaseendoflife

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

In particular, sudo apt upgrade gives this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  accountsservice apt apt-utils bind9-host dnsutils libldap-2.4-2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

I think I've broken something, since many comands are no longer working (for example: virtualenv, python, or certbot).

I've already tried rebooting the VPS.

How can I upgrade to the latest LTS release?

Here's my sources.list.

  • I also have a sources.list.distUpgrade file, which looks the same with a lot less commented lines: should I post that as well? – Saturnix Nov 22 '20 at 01:32
  • FYI: The supported upgrade window for 19.10 was from April to July. Standard releases are released every 6 months so you have to be prompt with regular upgrades if you choose Standard releases. Compare this with LTS versions which are supported for at least 3 years and for 5 years in case of the default flavor that uses GNOME3. That's not to say you can't still upgrade to 20.04, but if you are experiencing problems you might find it more expedient to just cleanly install 20.04 – Nmath Nov 22 '20 at 02:57
