Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
I wanted to upgrade my Ubuntu Desktop 6.10 system to the new Release 7.04 according to the roadmap on the Ubuntu website. I verified that all system updates were done in Synaptics and that the required version of update-manager was present (i have 0.45.4), and then started update Manager from the K-Menu, as recommended. Unfortunately, there was no message "new release 7.04 available" and no button "Upgrade" available within the message box, which was telling me that my system was up to date. I tried then to start the upgrade directly in a gksu shell and got a popup window from update manager, offering me the system release 7.04 upgrade. But doing this ended quickly with a PGP error when checking the feisty tarball: gksu "update-manager -c" warning: could not initiate dbus extracting '/tmp/tmpHvq79F/feisty.tar.gz' authenticate '/tmp/tmpHvq79F/feisty.tar.gz' against '/tmp/tmpHvq79F/feisty.tar.gz.gpg' exception from gpg: GnuPG exited non-zero, with code 8323072 doing the same thing as sudo didn't work either: sudo update-manager -c -d Password: warning: could not initiate dbus Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method MetaRelease.download of <MetaRelease object (UpdateManager+MetaRelease+MetaRelease) at 0xb67e9be4>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/UpdateManager/MetaRelease.py", line 170, in download f=open(self.METARELEASE_FILE,"w+") IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/bretschn/.update-manager/meta-release' running with the --dist-ugprade option failed also, telling me that it was trying to upgrade to 6.10 and, after 5 seconds, that my system was up to date. Looking for similar bug reports on launchpad I found out that a similar problem has been desribed in BUG #120957, fixed by a update manager patch. Looking into the patch I found it was already implemented in my /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/UpdateManager/MetaRelease.py and that the second patch was intended for update-manager-0.59.22/debian/rules which I do not have installed. My Ubuntu System 6.10 was a fresh install in May 2007, on an x386 PC. I wanted to upgrade because I need KDE 3.5.7 to be able to login to our Solaris 10 network. The latest KDE release supported by Edgy seems to be 3.5.5, which I already have but crashes when used for a Solaris 10 login.. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Upgrade 6.10->7.04 fails in the start with dbus and PGP errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
