[Bug 1174242] Re: Software Updater doesn't let me upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04

[matteo sisti sette]

I mean, during all these weeks I saw the Software Updater pop up
automatically hundreds of time, and I always installed all the available
updates, and it never prompted me for upgrade, because there were always
updates available when it popped up (other wise it wouldn't pop up in
the first place). That's stupid, I kept waiting for all this month
thinking "hey, 13.04 should be out already, or they'll have to call it
13.05". It never occurred to me that if I ran it manually anything would
change.

** Summary changed:

- Software Updater doesn't let me upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04
+ Software Updater should prompt for upgrade after installing all updates; should warn that new release available even before

** Summary changed:

- Software Updater should prompt for upgrade after installing all updates; should warn that new release available even before
+ Software Updater should prompt for upgrade after installing all updates; should warn of new release available even before

Title:
  Software Updater should prompt for upgrade after installing all
  updates; should warn of new release available even before

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

Bug description:
  = WORKAROUND =

  It's possible to force the upgrade using the following:

  do-release-upgrade -d -f DistUpgradeViewGtk3

  Ubuntu 13.04 is already out, and my Update Manager is correctly
  configured to show the upgrades for ANY VERSION.

  However, there is no button to upgrade to 13.04 as there was for
  previous upgrades.
