no upgrade to Feisty button with the last 0.45.3 update-manager version

[Nicola Jelmorini]

Before upgrading from Edgy to Feisty I have made a check with the update-manager and applied all the updates listed.
One update was the update-manager itself from version 0.45.2 to version 0.45.3.

The problem is that now the button to upgrade to Feisty is no more present.
I have forced the new distro check with the command

gksu "update-manager -c"

but always no upgrade button.

So I have downgraded the package update-manager to the previous 0.45.2 version and now the upgrade button is again displayed.
I think this is a bug in the last 0.45.3 version.

I had the same problem but with some additional info, the first time a run "update-manager -c" from the shell the upgrade button was there, I click on it and everything was perfect, but I didn't wan't to keep the shell open and decided to run the upgrade trough F2.

I closed the update-manager, and re-run it with F2, since then there is no button.

I'm gonna downgrade it to 45.2 so I can Upgrade Ubuntu, but the bug still there, cheers!!

Confirmed. -c or -d do nothing. The upgrade button simply never appears. Version 0.45.2 works fine.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I can not reproduce this here, but I would really appreciate if you could apply the patch I send in #109216 and tell me the error message you see on the termiinal.

Thanks,

hi guys,

i had exactly the same problem, but all of my problems were related to slow DNS resolution:

not sure if this is the cause of your problems though...

good luck!
