Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Running up to date Edgy, synaptic works, all ok.

Tried update-manager -d, also as gksu and also -d -c

No upgrade option shown, says system up to date.

Expected to see the 7.04 beta upgrade option

The only error being reported at the console is:
"Introspect error: The name org.freedesktop.UpdateManager was not provided by any .service files
no listening object (The name org.freedesktop.UpdateManager was not provided by any .service files) "

thanks

Thanks for your bugreport.

Are you behind a network proxy? Does it help if you open a gnome-terminal and run "update-manager -d" from there?

Thanks,

Attached the file again in case it helps

Have you tried update-manager 0.45.4 from edgy-proposed? It sends cache-control headers so it should work even when behind a agressive transparent proxy (that might be the case in your situation)?

No joy ... how would I find out about the proxy - from my isp?

Good question - I gave up and upgraded by dvd some time ago.

I guess we need to wait til October to see :-)

Close this til then and reopen if still an issue?

Cheers

Jon

Well you can still test this in edgy (or feisty for that matter) by trying to update to 7.04 final. But I guess we should close this and file another if this happens in gutsy. Any updates to update-manager can be backported to edgy, and so I don't think it matters for edgy?

I just ran it (in feisty) to see if it could see the 7.10 release but I
guess this isn't visible yet?
