It may well require sudo rights to actually perform an upgrade but it
doesn't need them to check if an upgrade is being served. In this
case, it spits a socket exception out, which is a bug if nothing else.

Even so, a 'do-upgrade-release' on my machine, su'd or not doesn't
throw an exception - just tells me that there's no upgrade available
from my 12.04 installation.

As of typing, I've not searched to see if there are any known bugs in
the script released with 11.10... I'd have thought that if this were a
regular occurrence then it would be patched out by now.
