[Bug 1098245] Re: "update-manager --devel-release": Upgrade button does nothing, even after successful authentication

[Kenny Strawn]

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce (on Quantal):
  
  1. Press Alt+F2 and type "update-manager --devel-release"
  2. If any packages are out-of-date, update them first
  3. When prompted that Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) is available, click "Upgrade"
  4. Type your password at the authentication prompt, and click "Authenticate"
  
  Expected result: A release upgrade dialog should appear
  
  What happens instead: Nothing.
  
  Workaround:
  
- sudo su
- echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main restricted universe multiverse" > /etc/apt/sources.list
- echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-security main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
