do-release-upgrade returning Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found

Not even trying to get to the development release was working:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found
Reason being:
$ cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
# Default behavior for the release upgrader.

[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=never

Just replace never by normal or lts according to your needs.

Ubuntu 12.04 update fails with Unable to find expected entry 'utilities-1.4/binary-amd64/Packages'

We got the below error:
W: Failed to fetch http://repo.mysql.com/apt/ubuntu/dists/precise/Release Unable to find expected entry 'utilities-1.4/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
To resolve it we had to install mysql-apt-config selecting the option "apply"
sudo apt-get install mysql-apt-config
