  Can not run the upgrade
  This usually is caused by a system where /tmp is mounted noexec. Please remount without noexec and run the upgrade again.

  I have checked /tmp
  $ ls -l / |grep tmp
  drwxrwxrwt  15 root root  360 2012-05-03 13:00 tmp
  
  which is obviously not mounted noexec.

** Summary changed:

- do-release-upgrade says it can not run the upgrade
+ do-release-upgrade: Can not run the upgrade, 'No such file or directory'.
