Title:
  update-manager should make sure that it is uptodate before a dist-
  upgrade even if edgy-updates is not available

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  
  I wanted to update from edgy to feisty on a machine that has only ubuntu-security enabled (because its normal internet connection is dial-up and I want as few updates as possible). The upgrade failed - now i saw that the bug has already been fixed (Bug 78673) in a current relase of the update-manager - but it is only available in edgy-updates. therefore i propose that the update-manager should always check that it is uptodate before a dist-upgrade. A possible solution would be to include updates of update-manager in the base distro or ubuntu-security.
