12.04 - upgrade from lucid to precise

I am running lucid, and would like to upgrade to precise. I have changed the settings in Update Manager to "Long term support releases only", but I only get the option "New Ubuntu release '10.10' is available". I thought it was possible to upgrade directly from one LTS to the next (i.e. go direct from lucid to precise). Is that right, or would I have to go through all the intermediate versions?



To add some extra details, running "lsb_release -a" gives:
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Release: 10.04
Codename: lucid



In /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades I have Prompt=lts




Running do-release-upgrade gives the output:
Checking for a new ubuntu release
Failed Upgrade tool signature
Failed Upgrade tool
Done downloading
Failed to fetch
Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem.
