[Bug 818760] Re: update-manager crashed with timeout in readline(): timed out

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Hernan., or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into precise-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:0.156.14.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  update-manager crashed with timeout in readline(): timed out

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This timeout is one of the top errors on errors.ubuntu.com and is afffecting lots of people.

  [Test Case]
  There is no trivial way to reproduce this as it only happens with a flaky internet connection.  Without an internet connection update-manager errors in a different way.  A regression test should be sufficient.

  update-manager crashed trying to read the meta-release file.  This may
  be caused due to local network issues, regardless update-manager
  should not crash in this case.
