2011-08-11 08:53:30 Robert Roth summary Update-manager requires connectivity to changelog.ubuntu.com - mirrors alone aren't sufficient The meta-release file should be moved to archive.ubuntu.com to let the mirrors carry it.

2011-08-11 08:55:17 Robert Roth description Binary package hint: update-manager The upgrade manager needs to download http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release before it will display an Upgrade button. For firewalled machines with a local mirror and machines requiring NTLM-authenticated proxy access, there is never an "upgrade" button. Even if there is a complete local mirror. Observed on the Gutsy->Hardy upgrade. We run a local FTP mirror, and our users have not been getting the option to upgrade, because outside connections to port 80 are firewalled. (NTLM proxies preferred). We worked around this by setting up a special proxy for meta-release. Preferably the meta-release file should be moved to archive.ubuntu.com where the mirrors can carry it, and update-manager can get it from a local mirror. If this isn't possible, a configurable location would at least help our users. I've discussed this with mvo, he agrees that this should be solved.

Another problem with this as reported in some duplicates is that the release upgrade available notification appears when the meta-release file is updated on changelogs.ubuntu.com, but if users click the button and their preferred mirror is not (yet) up-to-date, they get can not fetch errors.
