Hello Valter (and anyone else),
I was in your same situation, as one of my systems correctly recognized
that Precise was released, while another one not. After some quick
research, I think I've found the issue.

Due to bug #944876 ([1]), which has just been fixed, if you have asked
KDE to prompt you to upgrade on regular distribution releases, it checks
only for new LTS releases instead. As the "meta-release-lts" file on the
Ubuntu site (used by the Update Manager to check for LTS upgrades, [2])
does not mention Precise yet (it will do only when the first point
release of Precise is out, see bug #989334 at [3]), the Update Manager
will act as if there was no distribution upgrade available.

Changing the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file manually did the
trick for me - try doing it, or install the new update-manager package
for Oneiric (it should be propagating across the mirrors right now, so
it should show up in a few hours or a day at most), then check that the
Distribution upgrade setting in the KDE System Settings application is
correct and proceed.

Ciao,
Alessandro Menti
