[Bug 127263] Re: update-manager cannot find meta-release info
I have followed all the indications but I still experiment the same problem ; I want to update to Gutsy and update-manager doesn't show me the update button. I deleted my ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release, my ~/.update-manager/meta-release but it didn't fix anything. And I have no /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release. Moreover, I'm behind a proxy. I've downloaded and installed the versions of update-manager and update-manager-core on http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/update-manager/ but it didn't change anything. I've also tried to follow http://www.go2linux.org/upgrading-to-gutsy (I don't have the message current dist not found in meta-release) but it still don't help ; this update button remains invisible ! -- update-manager cannot find meta-release info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127263 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

The version 0.59.25 in feisty-proposed should fix this issue as well as the issue with the missing imports. Here are instruction to verify the problem: 0. install update-manager 0.59.23 from feisty-updates 1. make sure your time is correct (ntpdate pool.ntp.org) 2. run update-manager 3. close it again 4. check that ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release was created 5. run update-manager -d 6. no new version will come up (no upgrade to gutsy button) To verify the fix install new version 0.59.25 for update-manager and update-manager-core from feisty-proposed and repeat steps 1-5. In Step 6 there should be a button that lets you upgrade to gutsy. Also verify that a new file ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release-development was created. -- update-manager cannot find meta-release info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127263 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

This was being created by the __init__ method of MetaReleaseCore: try: open(self.METARELEASE_FILE,a) except IOError, e: path = os.path.expanduser(~/.update-manager-core/) if not os.path.exists(path): os.mkdir(path) self.METARELEASE_FILE = os.path.join(path,meta-release) Then the download() method checks the mtime of METARELEASE_FILE in order to add an If-Modified-Since header to the http request. The mtime is very recent because we just touched it in __init__. Because of this urllib throws an exception with HTTP 304 Not Modified. The exception handler then sees the empty METARELEASE_FILE: except urllib2.URLError: if os.path.exists(self.METARELEASE_FILE): self.metarelease_information=open(self.METARELEASE_FILE,r) And sets metarelease_information to the newly opened empty file. Later on a parse is attempted on this file which results in no meta-release information matching the current distro. Fix/workaround: Taking the last-modified check out works, but probably the best thing to do is to check for a zero sized file at the same time as reading the mtime. ** Tags added: verification-needed -- update-manager cannot find meta-release info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127263 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

Just had the current dist not found in meta-release error. But at least for me it was correct since the /var/lib/update-manager/meta- release file was empty (!!!). Quite strange since I just did an upgrade from edgy (possible to update edgy-gutsy, would have saved 800MB download...)

[Bug 127263] Re: update-manager cannot find meta-release info
This diff should fix both the sudo and the non-sudo case: In the sudo case the empty file creates if-modified-since (I-M-S) hits that are newer than the version on the server so no metarelease file is downloaded. Empty files now get simply removed. In the non-sudo case both the meta-release and the meta-release- development file are mapped onto the same local filename. This confuses the i-m-s mechanism. The metarelease filename now will be build based on the actual download filename.

[Bug 127263] Re: update-manager cannot find meta-release info
That's really not sufficient. If If-Modified-Since is going to be used at all, the three different http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release* files need to be cached as three separate files. (Though I'm not sure how ~/.update-manager/meta-release plays into it.)

For an example of when the patch isn't good enough: # make sure we don't already know about gutsy or have the problematic empty file sudo rm /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release sudo update-manager -c # Close, then: sudo update-manager -d /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release created by update-manager -c won't have a gutsy entry, but update-manager -d won't fetch a new copy, since the timestamp on the file is recent, so the upgrade button won't appear. -- update-manager cannot find meta-release info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/127263 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

I hope this will be pushed int Feisty soon as suggested by Eugene. I'd apply the patch but I'd like prefer to test the mainstream upgrade path.

Applying the patch doesn't do anything. I even removed the /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/UpdateManager/Core/MetaRelease.pyc file too.
