But it freeze, (I don't for what) so I kill it by a CTRL+C
In the terminal I get this one :
sudo update-manager -c

Very similar issues here, discovered whilst attempting to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy...

==================================================
warning: could not initiate dbus
current dist not found in meta-release file
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 91, in <module>
    app.main(options)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 1017, in main

KeyboardInterrupt
==================================================

I checked my "/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release" file and it's fine.

Any ideas?

Best wishes, Garf
