lucid 10.04 LTS => Precise 12.04.1 : upgrade doesn't work

I googled and looked into all known issues on ubuntu forums related to distribution upgrade but I can't figure out why a 10.04 LTS server won't detect the last LTS 12.04.1. I guess since 12.04 is a fresh dist, not much is reported for related issues



Here is what I did :



apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install update-manager-core



it was already installed so no update for this package.



I checked : /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades



[DEFAULT]
# Default prompting behavior, valid options:
#
# never - Never check for a new release.
# normal - Check to see if a new release is available. If more than one new

# release is found, the release upgrader will attempt to upgrade to
# the release that immediately succeeds the currently-running
# release.
# lts - Check to see if a new LTS release is available. The upgrader
# will attempt to upgrade to the first LTS release available after
# the currently-running one. Note that this option should not be
# used if the currently-running release is not itself an LTS
# release, since in that case the upgrader won't be able to
# determine if a newer release is available.
Prompt=lts



I also checked my sourcelist before running apt-get : /etc/apt/sources.list



deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
# deb http://landscape.canonical.com/packages/hardy ./
# deb-src http://landscape.canonical.com/packages/hardy ./


and then following Ubuntu guide for Precise upgrade the command below should work :



root@xxxxxxxxx:/etc/apt# do-release-upgrade  -d

Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found


I tried without dev release option -d but got the same result



Kernel :



root@xxxxxxxxx:/etc/apt# uname -a
Linux XXXXXXXXX 2.6.32-42-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 25 15:57:54 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux



Linux Distrib :



root@XXXXXXXXX:/etc# cat lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS"



Source list :



root@XXXXXXXXX:/etc/apt# cat sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse


So am I missing something ?



The server was accessing outside through a proxy but I grant direct access to this server to avoid any Internet access problem or redirection but no clue...



Any help would be appreciated
