I'd like to report what happend here[1]:

1. procedure as suggested <a 
href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/Tribe5#head-81cc88734ebf046f2eea75748ddc33707ae6cc4d";>in
 ubuntu wiki</a>
2. needed the touch cli
3. "new release" showed up for one but coulnd't carry out the upgrade right away
4. next time I ran update-manager -d option was gone
5. variouse touches and update-manager -d's didn't help (sudoed or not)
6. finally a came around to rm ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release
7. now the option showes up every time update-manager is called without sudo. 
If I do sudo updat... it wouldn't show up.

Unfortunatelly I didn't capture the meta-release file... Hope this helps
never the less. Let me know soon if you need more since I'd like to
update in the next couple of days.

Cheers.
