Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Summary: As discovered in bug #188957 if Update Manager cannot resolve
its hostname properly it hangs forever without any notice or warning to
the user.
1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
2) update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.87.26
Candidate: 1:0.87.26
Version table:
*** 1:0.87.26 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1:0.87.24 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
3) After the Update icon appeared in the notification tray I clicked on
it and the Update Manager window appeared. I then clicked on the
"Install Updates" button and I expected to be greeted with a password
dialog box.
4) The Update Manager window became non-responsive and no password
dialog box appeared. This worked fine in Gutsy (although I'm not sure
my /etc/hosts file was configured the same way)
