** Description changed: - Hello - Just a little problem, with every livecd inserted it propose to upgrade, although it is a release older than the installed. - Thanks - Fabio - --- - Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad + [Impact] - ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 - Package: update-notifier 0.117ubuntu3.1 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 - Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Tue Nov 8 17:34:46 2011 - ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/update-notifierInstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012)SourcePackage: update-notifier - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + Just a little problem, with every livecd inserted it propose to upgrade, + although it is a release older than the installed. + + People might accedentally start an "upgrade" with an older version + medium.
