I'm currently on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. As of writing this, 18.04 LTS is available. However, I do not wish to upgrade to it.
Instead, I would like to upgrade to 17.04 LTS.



I've done:



sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade


Many tutorials suggest



sudo do-release-upgrade


as the next step. But I believe that would upgrade to the latest distro and not the target 17.04.
How do I go about this?

          To answer your question, I don’t think Ubuntu officially supports upgrades to releases other than either the latest release or the latest LTS. It might be possible to upgrade to a specific release by changing the appropriate code name in /etc/apt/sources.list and running apt update && apt dist-upgrade, but that won’t take into account any upgrade step performed by the do-release-upgrade tool (if any).



          However in your specific case, 17.04 isn’t an LTS, and is already out of support. 16.04 is still supported; if you don’t want to upgrade to 18.04 you should stick with 16.04.
