do-release-upgrade on jaunty does check that it can lock, but doesn't check it at the beginning. I think that's reasonable: it does the checking when it actually acquires the lock; doing a check earlier would just introduce a race condition.
Thus I think this bug can be closed. If you disagree, please re-open (and please accept my pre-emptive apologies). ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- Does not check if the cache can be locked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108446 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
