Re: An upgrade bug

 

Hi Erick,

as you will see, this bug has been 'stood down' from a really important bug
on release day. We are always very alert of such things when the releases
go 'wild' to all the different computer systems.

As long as we are aware of it. Release day always brings in 'zero-day'
bugs, in this case; it has been checked and does not seem a major issue.

As an aside, I did come across a request that I could not help with. It can
occur if you shh into a desktop system and do a remote upgrade. That is
some weird test case to check on! After the reboot, it tells you that you
are running 13.04 and there is an upgrade available to 13.04.... Thankfully
the answer is easy :)

And, yes, I know you are only going to nag me if I do not give a complete
answer:

sudo apt-get install

I am going to look to see if there are bugs  about ubuntu-release-upgrader
or update-motd once I've had some sleep :)


Regards,

Phill.
