Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Yesterday, update-manager needed to "dist-upgrade" to upgrade all
packages correctly. This is rather normal sometimes (not in production
environments, though), but it is quite a common task.
Update-manager presented a window saying "you need to upgrade the
distribution" and then another window "upgrading to ubuntu 6.10". This
is not incorrect, but for the non-techie user this is a problem. The
user might think that the computer is upgrading to a NEW distribution,
rather than just updating the current one (with a different apt
commandline, but for the user this is not important)
What I mean is that, though update-manager called apt with a dist-
upgrade, it should be careful not to present the "distribution upgrade"
window if the distribution isn't actually upgrading
** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu)
