Michael: as suggested on irc, I went ahead, verified that my apt sources were set to intrepid (the act of trying to use update-manager here leaves apt configured against intrepid already), did an 'apt-get upgrade', and then an 'apt-get dist-upgrade -f'. This successfully walked through the installation process[1] and updated the VM image to intrepid. I then reverted the VM snapshot that I'm doing this in and reproduced the update-manager behavior.
(I happened to notice that I had apt-listchanges installed; I uninstalled that package before running update-manager this time to ensure that it wasn't the culprit.) Please feel free to let me know what else I can do to assist in debugging this. Thanks! [1] Well, it wasn't exactly successful, as the upgrade failed on updating a couple of packages: opencryptoki and moodle, but it did actually install packages as expected. -- update-manager claims to do a release upgrade, but doesn't actually install packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282830 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
