[Bug 1173209] Re: Prompted about New Release for 13.04 again after dist-upgrade and a restart

[Adam Conrad]

Yeah, looking at /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd,
it never expires the cache if it's non-zero-length, which could also
pose a problem if we want to allow people to skip releases in the
future, as it would never update from, say, 12.10 to 13.04 or whatever.

Definitely an issue in this case, though, as it will never go back to
zero-length after an upgrade, so it should definitely be either deleted
or emptied on upgrade.

Title:
  Prompted about New Release for 13.04 again after dist-upgrade and a
  restart

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Running ubuntu server as guest OS within virtualbox on a Windows host

  Yesterday I was greeting with the following prompt;

  "New release '13.04' available
  Run 'do-release-upgrade' to upgrade to it."

  Which I successfully ran. Every reboot thereafter, however, I am
  continually prompted with the same text.

  Running "do-release-upgrade" therein returns;

  "Checking for a new Ubuntu release
  No new release found"
