[Bug 875423] Re: "Ask Me Later" button doesn't work

Yes, /etc/apt/sources.list says at the top:
# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release amd64 (20091027)]/ karmic main restricted

How is this not a bug?  Requiring removal of a comment in this file to
fix this dialog doing nothing at all when clicking "ask me later"?  At
the very least it seems the dialog should pop up a message saying
"sorry, I can't do anything until you remove this line from your
/etc/apt/sources.list".  But it still seems ridiculous to have that
requirement.  Why is this comment line even a problem?

I'm plenty capable of doing the upgrade without this dialog, I just
think the dialog is doing a very wrong thing (nothing), pretty far from
the user friendliness I've come to expect form Ubuntu.

Title:
  "Ask Me Later" button doesn't work

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I just got the "Ubuntu 11.10 Upgrade Available" dialog, and clicking
  the "Ask Me Later" button does nothing.  The button does it's little
  depression animation thing, but then the popup doesn't go away.  I
  have clicked it many times.  (This was /usr/lib/update-manager/check-
  new-release-gtk according to ps - killing that process made the dialog
  go away).
