[Bug 1412560] Re: Graphical update fails

Fri Jan 23 07:36:26 UTC 2015

Tried it, worked (unexpectedly). Running without the debug option
produces the same dialog (Failed to download packages...)

After a while, the flash plugin installer started and downloaded extra data

Title:
  Graphical update fails

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using Software-updater in Ubuntu 14.10 downloads changes but refuses
  to carry them out when OK is pressed.

  The software updater queries the repositories and returns a list of available upgrades.
  When choosing OK (selection stopped working a while ago), the download dialog appears but renders a failure notice (check internet connection - which is working perfectly fine).

  This happens regularly.

  Doing the upgrade in a terminal works first time.

  Observed behaviour:

  Sometimes IPv6 address resolution appears during download of package
  lists (which breaks regularly).

  The query progress bar in the graphical interface jumps erratically
  instead of running smoothly (might be an indication of failed name
  resolution or package retrieval)

  No changes in network configuration on my side (just in case someone
  might wonder)

  Download from the main server is extremely slow (40-50k/s on a 45Mb/s
  line)

  Main servers used in update configuration
