[Bug 1179081] [NEW] neither the release update tool nor the system updater are responsive

[Joshua Turner]

Public bug reported:

package updater has a very long list of updates, but just vanishes when
i ask to apply updates. do-dist-upgrade fails and asks if i want to
report this bug report, so here i am. i suspect something has gone wrong
with the underlying apt-get deb cache, but have no idea where to
begin...
