Bug description:
  Trying to upgrade from a minimal 13.10 installation with
  # update-manager-text
  Reading package lists... Done

  Building Updates List
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/update-manager-text", line 70, in <module>
      app = UpdateManagerText(data_dir)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManagerText/UpdateManagerText.py", line 55, in __init__
      self.fillstore()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManagerText/UpdateManagerText.py", line 90, in fillstore
      self.list.pkgs, key=operator.attrgetter("importance"),
  AttributeError: 'UpdateList' object has no attribute 'pkgs'

  Looking at the source
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/UpdateList.py
  and it's earlier versions (from 13.04) it's obvious that there seems to be a version mismatch between
  ii  update-manager-core      1:0.194.2         all               manage release upgrades
  ii  update-manager-text      1:0.194.2         all               Text application that manages apt updates

  as there is no self.pkgs defined anywhere in the class UpdateList.
  So either update-manager-text or -core needs to be updated.

  However, do-release-upgrade works but I thought I should report this
  bug.
