[Bug 818760] Re: update-manager crashed with timeout in readline(): timed out

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package update-manager - 1:0.156.14.9

---------------
update-manager (1:0.156.14.9) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * No change rebuild to pick up the fixed apt_clone.py

update-manager (1:0.156.14.8) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Fix removal_blacklist to blacklist "^screen$" instead of "screen".
    This fixes cases where the upgrade would fail because of a package
    containing "screen" being removed. (LP: #1029531)

update-manager (1:0.156.14.7) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py: call clone.save_state with
    scrub_sources set so that VarLogDistUpgradeAptclonesystemstate will be
    included in bug reports again (LP: #1029046)
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeApport.py: check errormsg for the English version of
    the dependency problems error first (LP: #999890)
    - add apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz to white list of files to upload
  * In the apport source package hook collect apt-clone information if the bug
    report is about a distribution upgrade (LP: #1029046)
  * Don't throw exception on socket timeout when downloading metarelease file
    (LP: #818760)

Title:
  update-manager crashed with timeout in readline(): timed out

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This timeout is one of the top errors on errors.ubuntu.com and is afffecting lots of people.

  [Test Case]
  There is no trivial way to reproduce this as it only happens with a flaky internet connection.  Without an internet connection update-manager errors in a different way.  A regression test should be sufficient.

  update-manager crashed trying to read the meta-release file.  This may
  be caused due to local network issues, regardless update-manager
  should not crash in this case.
