Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Today I tried to upgrade my system from 9.04 to 9.10 RC via update-
manager -d. When I clicked the button for the dist-upgrade, I got the
release notes and then a dialog which sais it's downloading 2 files.
After that, update-manager just crashed, without any notice.
Steps to reproduce:
run update-manager -d
click the "Upgrade" button in the top right.
click "Upgrade" in the dialog showing the release notes.
enter your password when asked for it.
What should happen:
the system is upgraded to the new distribution release, or a proper error
message is shown.
What actually happens:
update-manager crashes.
When I run update-manager -d from the command line, this is the output:
$ update-manager -d
extracting 'karmic.tar.gz'
authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg'
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning:
object.__init__() takes no parameters
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
sudo: unable to execute /tmp/tmpx8L0A4/karmic: Permission denied
Since it said something about permissions, I also tried to run it as root
directly from the command line instead of entering my password when
update-manager asks for it. This is the output:
$ sudo update-manager -d
extracting 'karmic.tar.gz'
authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg'
/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning:
object.__init__() takes no parameters
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/DistUpgradeFetcher.py:79:
GtkWarning: gtk_scrolled_window_add: assertion `bin->child == NULL' failed
self.parent.scrolled_notes.add(textview_release_notes)
extracting 'karmic.tar.gz'
authenticate 'karmic.tar.gz' against 'karmic.tar.gz.gpg'
But now I also got an error message in the GUI:
Can not run the upgrade
This usually is caused by a system were /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount
without noexec and run the upgrade again.
This error message is right, I do have /tmp mounted with noexec. The
problem is that it doesn't show up when I don't run update-manager as
root, so many users will not know what's the problem when their upgrade
fails.
