[Bug 1071057] Re: people report bugs about update-manager thinking it still does dist upgrades

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Run ubuntu-bug update-manager (do not submit the bug report)
+ 
+ With the version of update-manager from -proposed you'll be asked if the
+ issue you are reporting is one you encountered upgrading from one
+ release of ubuntu to another.  If you click Yes you'll be presented with
+ an apport dialog regarding ubuntu-release-upgrader, if you click No
+ you'll be presented with an apport dialog regarding update-manager.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ This only affects the apport hook for update-manager so very little.
+ 
  I've seen a couple of cases where people using quantal have reported
  bugs about update-manager, regarding the distribution upgrade process
  they just went through, and it would be good to have the log files from
  /var/log/dist-upgrade.  They should have reported the bug about ubuntu-
  release-upgrader-core but old habits die hard and its not obvious that
  these are two separate packages now.
  
  Since ubuntu-release-upgrader was made a separate package the question
  regarding whether or not this is about a distribution upgrade was moved
  from the update-manager apport hook to the u-r-u apport hook.  It seems
  to me that we could help people out and reduce back and forth if we were
  to ask this question again in the update-manager hook and change the
  package to ubuntu-release-upgrader-core so its hook gets run.

** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu Saucy)
