Error in 'Version Upgrade': Could not download the release announcement

[Red Knuckles]

Binary package hint: adept

After running 'Fetch Updates' in Adept Package Manager it offers a 'Version Upgrade'. When I click 'Next' THERE IS this error:

"Could not download the release announcement. Please check that your Internet connection is active."

And there is an active 'net connection or else 'Fetch Updates' wouldn't run [CD-ROM repository is disabled in sources.list].

Bug reported in Feisty Beta and Herd 4 or 5.

[Red Knuckles (benny-bullard)]

For what it's worth I origaninally installed Feisty Testing Herd 4 or 5. Could Adept somehow be trying to upgrade to release version? Is it even necessary given my '/etc/apt/sources.list'?

Using Feisty Beta (fresh install) and have this issue

All of these reports are from before the final Feisty release. Is anyone still experiencing this problem following the Feisty final release

[Marco Maini (maini10)]

Someone reports this also in Gutsy (please see bug 130985).

[Jens Lehmann (jens-lehmann)]

I have the same problem. To answer the question in the duplicate: For me it is clean upgrade from the latest Feisty to Gutsy (so it should work).

And me. Is this a poorly mirrored repository issue, perhaps?

[mr.goose (editor-garfnet)]

A screengrab - if that helps...

[mr.goose (editor-garfnet)]

May also be related to bug 104542 perhaps?

[mr.goose (editor-garfnet)]

Sorry I meant bug 154532. Been round in circles trying to fix this and I am going quite crazy! Apologies!

Best wishes, G.

Is this still an issue?
Does running adept from the console reveal any hints?

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

update-manager-kde handles relaese-announcement fetching for intrepid -> intrepid +1 upgrades. As it is all-new code, it shouldn't have this issue.

Not still and issue for me. Sorry for not reporting back sooner.
