Code:sudo do-release-upgrade
That was it, aside from issuing the commands above to fix man.
I switched to the Armbian 4.19 kernel earlier this year on two of my Pines. I deployed a third one recently, but found that the built-in Ethernet port didn't work. Light on left blinks once per second, but no lights at all on the right. After trying everything I could think, I noticed that the chip on this Pine differs slightly from the chip on the two that work OK. So yesterday, I started from scratch with the Xenial Mate distribution, and I discovered that the Ethernet port works just fine with the 3.10.104 longsleep kernel. So that Pine is now running longsleep again, and I upgraded it to 18.04.2 with just the command above. (With my very first Pine, I noticed that the network throughput was abysmal, but upgrading to 3.10.105 fixed that problem. With this Pine, an earlier version of the Pine, 104 works just fine. So apparently, whatever bug in 104 that affected the others does not affect this chip, and Armbian, which supports the others, does not support this older chip.)

Xenial mate is the goal, because it's also what is running on my main system. As far as I got it, upgrating longsleep's kernels 3.10.104/105 with the above command should be ok.
