Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
I wanted to update from edgy to feisty on a machine that has only ubuntu-security enabled (because its normal internet connection is dial-up and I want as few updates as possible). The upgrade failed - now i saw that the bug has already been fixed (Bug 78673) in a current relase of the update-manager - but it is only available in edgy-updates. therefore i propose that the update-manager should always check that it is uptodate before a dist-upgrade. A possible solution would be to include updates of update-manager in the base distro or ubuntu-security.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
