Upgrading EOL Ubunut version to the recent version

Upgrading an outdated, end of life (EOL) Ubuntu version (in this case it was 22.10) to a recent one needs a special treatment. Running just apt dist-upgrade doesn't work, beforehand the apt source files need to be changed, because new packages cannot be retrieved from the old source urls.

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
sudo sed -i -re 's/([a-z]{2}\.)?archive.ubuntu.com|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo do-release-upgrade
