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.
