[Bug 1768748] Re: 17.10 to 18.04 upgrade: 'upgrade now' has no effect

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Jean-Baptiste, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-notifier into bionic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
notifier/3.192.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: update-notifier (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic

Bug description:
  Test Case:
  1. Install 1710 and all the updates available
  2. Reboot
  3. Wait until the upgrade notification to 18.04 shows up
  4. Press on 'Upgrade now'

  Expected behaviour
  The upgrade process starts

  Actual result
  The update notifier dialog is closed and nothing happens. This is reproducible with the the Wayland and X sessions.

  It works fine if update-notifier is executed manually with:
  $ update-notifier --force-release-check

  The following messages are logged in the journal:
