Title:
  "update-manager --devel-release": Upgrade button does nothing, even
  after successful authentication

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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 If any packages are out-of-date, update them first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
  # echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-updates main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  # echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  # echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-backports main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  # apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade
  # exit
