Bug Description

Currently running Ubuntu 15.04. I run the Software Updater and it says "system up to date, but there is an update to 15.10". I click Upgrade, and nothing happens. I have looked in the various logs suggested by other posts (syslog, dpkg.log, /varlog/apt/*.log, etc - but I cannot find any error messages. How can I troubleshoot this?

Try running '/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk' in a terminal and see if any messages are displayed. For future reference release upgrade log files are stored in /var/log/dist-upgrade.
