I like to do system updates under script(1) and have a collection of bash aliases to do these things and log the script output. Otherwise all that stuff scrolls by with no chance for me to use it later.
I just tried to update my system to 18.04, and it failed with the following output:
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
Get:1 Upgrade tool signature [819 B]
Get:2 Upgrade tool [1,263 kB]
Fetched 1,264 kB in 0s (0 B/s)
authenticate 'bionic.tar.gz' against 'bionic.tar.gz.gpg'
extracting 'bionic.tar.gz'
Clear screen capability required.
This seems onerous to me. What's the point of generating output if there's no way to learn from it, refer to it, or remember it?

[Workaround]
As a workaround dropping the TERM=dumb bit does allow the upgrade to proceed and produces the typescript, albeit an ugly one:
TERM=dumb script -c 'do-release-upgrade'
