</div>It may well require sudo rights to actually perform an upgrade but it<br>
doesn't need them to check if an upgrade is being served. In this<br>
case, it spits a socket exception out, which is a bug if nothing else.<br>
<br>
Even so, a 'do-upgrade-release' on my machine, su'd or not doesn't<br>
throw an exception - just tells me that there's no upgrade available<br>
from my 12.04 installation.<br>
<br>
As of typing, I've not searched to see if there are any known bugs in<br>
the script released with 11.10... I'd have thought that if this were a<br>
regular occurrence then it would be patched out by now.</blockquote></div><br clear="all"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I've tried the commands; "sudo apt-get update -d" is now running and "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" stopped running because of a conflict with apt-get update -d.
