[Bug 1080131] Re: update manager doesn't find 12.10 upgrade

A clue:

The file /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/UpdateManager/Core/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py seems to be where
the decision-making happens.  And it seems to depend in very particular
ways on the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list.  Unfortunately I just
don't know enough about the context to analyze this any further.

It does seem that if /etc/apt/sources.list is not quite in the form that
this program is expecting, the upgrade won't be found.  But I can't tell
just what it's looking for.

if it helps, here's the contents of my /etc/apt/sources.list:

Title:
  update manager doesn't find 12.10 upgrade

Status in “update-manager-core” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.1 on three machines.  On none of them can I
  upgrade to 12.10.   I never see the notifier, and apt-get dist-upgrade
  finds nothing.  Here's what demonstrates the point:

  root at morchella:/home/pa/.config/synaptiks# cat /etc/lsb-release 
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"
  root at morchella:/home/pa/.config/synaptiks# do-release-upgrade -c
  Checking for a new Ubuntu release
  No new release found

  I've set the upgrade prompt to Normal; that doesn't help at all.

  All three machines have their software sources list created by Ubuntu
  Software Sources, so there's a lot of stuff on it.
