Upgrade Menu Item Missing From Update Manager 'Edit'
I am unable to upgrade my build of Linux Mint 20.1 Mate to 20.2 Uma because the “Edit->Upgrade to Linux Mint 20.2 Uma” item is missing from the Update Manager 'Edit' menu.
Please advise.

Try reinstalling Update Manager, do one line at a time:
Code: Select all
apt reinstall mintupdate
mintupdate
Re: Upgrade Menu Item Missing From Update Manager 'Edit'
I tried using the commands in Terminal (one at a time as suggested). This did not fix the problem. The path to upgrading to 20.2 Uma is still missing from the 'Edit' menu in Update Manager.

Sadly, both screenshots are unreadable; please paste result as text with Code tags.
"When posting output of commands use the "Code" tags if it is more than 2 or 3 lines long - this makes it more readable. The button that inserts these tags is marked </>"

Re: Upgrade Menu Item Missing From Update Manager 'Edit'
Looking at your screenshots, it appears that you're already on LM 20.2. Please open Menu -> Welcome Screen and verify your version.
If you have found the solution to your initial post, please open your original post, click on the pencil, and add (Solved) to the Subject, it helps other users looking for help, and keeps the forum clean.
Re: Upgrade Menu Item Missing From Update Manager 'Edit'
Wrong. It only says that. I never upgraded to Uma and NONE of the new apps (e.g. Bulky) have been installed on my system. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
Re: Upgrade Menu Item Missing From Update Manager 'Edit'
Hello, asus.
Would you mind running the 2 commandlines again, which I had given you, and share the text output in the terminal window with us?
Mark the complete text output with your mouse.
Press <Shift><Ctrl>C to copy the marked text.
Switch to your next forum reply and paste the copied text into your reply.
Thanks,
Karl

Hi, asus.
I see you have decided to stick with screenshots, downsized so much that they cannot be read any longer. Not good.
I had given you the simple steps of sharing something in readable format with us. Still recommending to follow those steps.

I apologize for the size of the screenshots. I needed to reduce the size of the image as the originals were too large and were not accepted as attachments when I attempted to post them. I will redo the screenshots and repost tomorrow.

Hello, asus.
Your output displayed by the command
This would explain why the Update Manager cannot offer you the option to upgrade to Linux Mint 20.2 uma.
Details, which suggests your system runs Linux Mint 20.2 uma: Last line, the part: Second line: specifies
What precisely makes you assume that your system were not on Linux Mint 20.2 uma, but on a previous release still?
In a previous post, you wrote
So you may suspect a bug here, where there is none.
Which other hint is there that your system had not been upgraded to LM 20.2.Uma?

In a previous post, you wrote
I am not sure about additional applications like Bulky, which were introduced in LM 20.2 only. - During previous release upgrades, such applications, newly introduced by the new release, had to be installed manually after having upgraded from the previous Mint rel. to the current Mint release. Only fresh installations of the new release from the installation ISO would bring along the new applications automatically.
So you may suspect a bug here, where there is none.
