My WSL2 currently has a single distribution - Ubuntu 18.04. I wish to upgrade it in place to the latest and so I ran the steps described in https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-upgrade-existing-wsl-wsl2-ubuntu-18-04-to-20-04, namely:
sudo apt update
sudo apt list --upgradable
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt --purge autoremove
sudo apt install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade
For the last step I had to follow the instructions in https://askubuntu.com/a/1296373/611551, namely to link /usr/lib/ssl/cert.pem to /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, but it finally runs, only it fails short afterwards:

=== Command terminated with exit status 1 (Thu Oct 6 16:35:52 2022) ===
And it hangs. At this point I have no choice but aborting it. Retrying does not help.
What am I doing wrong?
