addditional info I found:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals update-manager
current dist not found in meta-release file
current dist not found in meta-release file

(I upgraded one day before 8.04 was released)

What was peculiar is that when starting from command line, like this,
sudo actually worked.

So I tried to update dist, but it said it is up to date already.  And
crashed when exiting:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals update-manager --dist-upgrade
sudo: unable to resolve host xpc
