AFAIK it should not update directly to trusty, but in multiple steps through quantal -> raring -> trusty.
Unfortunately the tool doesn't know that, though in earlier releases it worked fine.

Also keep in mind, trusty is not LTS.

Trusty will be the next LTS, and LTS to LTS upgrade is a supported upgrade path.

#10

This must be fixed in ubuntu-release-upgrader in Trusty by adding a file DistUpgrade.cfg.precise (copy Distupgrade.cfg) and, in the section 'Sources', set the value of the parameter 'From' to 'precise' and 'To' to 'Trusty'

affects:

update-manager (Ubuntu) → ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
