   I started to have problems with the unstable release upgrade of 19.10. I   
   generally use CLI interface.    
   When not using a 32 bit version (that hasn't be around for awhile now) a   
   simple command like:   
   do-release-upgrade   
      
   usually works pretty good to get to the stable next release. I've tried other   
   methods but nothing worked.    
   My last upgrade from 19.10 with zfs took awhile.    
      
   I have another system I support that started as a Kubuntu 18.something, and a   
   monkey operator upgraded it to ubuntu 19.10. Then the   
   same monkey operator tried to upgrade it to 20.04 but ... it got stuck. I   
   haven't had the desire to unwind it yet to fix it.    
      
   The system is a baremetal system too.
