Bug Description
In UpdateManager/
except SystemError, e:
msg = ("<big>
e)
)
The upgrade may not be calculated for a couple of reasons. As an example we have:
E:Error, pkgProblemResol
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
update-manager knows, or should know, if you are upgrading to a pre-release or running one and should notify the user to try again as this may be due to archive inconsistencies rather than having them file a bug right away.
