Public bug reported: When running the update-manager from gnome it replies with "An upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'intrepid' is not supported with this tool."
aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade works just fine and reports the same number of upgrades. After safe-upgrade has completed the icon for update-manager ("X number of packages available") is hidden correctly as well. $ sudo dpkg -l |grep update-manager ii update-manager 1:0.93.34 GNOME application that manages apt updates ii update-manager-core 1:0.93.34 manage release upgrades $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
