Bug Description
[Impact]
do-release-upgrade checks to see if you have all available updates installed before allowing you to upgrade to the next release, however it doesn't take into account phased-updates subsequently it forces you to install updates which are under phasing (or have stopped phasing) before upgrading. This is not ideal as updates have stopped phasing for a reason and may end up negatively affecting your system before the release upgrade.
[Test Case]
0) Ensure that there are updates with a Phased-
1) Install all available updates for your release using update-manager (which respects phasing)
2) Run 'do-release-
3) Observe a message re "Please install all available updates"
with the version of ubuntu-
[Regression Potential]The patch is pretty straight forward and it'd be hard for it to cause a regression. One should confirm that there are phased updates available by running 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and observing that there are packages available to install which update-manager won't.
Hello,
I want to upgrade to 18.10.
So I start update-manager GUI then update some packets.
At End it ask me if I want to upgrade. I answer Yes.
But update-manager close. Nothing happens.
I run it under terminal and get this message:
Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
Why GUI don't show this before close?

I also have the same symptom.
Except I didn't run from a terminal, I just looked in /var/log/syslog:
Oct 24 18:39:37 snowplow update- manager. desktop[ 7753]: Checking for a new Ubuntu release manager. desktop[ 7753]: Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.
