Whenever attempting to run do-release-upgrade I get an error:
$ do-release-upgrade 
Checking for a new ubuntu release

Can not run the upgrade
This usually is caused by a system where /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again.


I have checked /tmp
$ ls -l / |grep tmp
drwxrwxrwt  15 root root  360 2012-05-03 13:00 tmp

which is obviously not mounted noexec.
