Bug Description

[Impact]
Users on Ubuntu 12.10 cannot upgrade to the development version of 13.04 (though, this bug does not stop them from upgrading to the released version of 13.04).

[Reproduction Steps]
0) Be on Ubuntu 12.10
1) update-manager -d
2) Notice that while it offers an upgrade choice, clicking upgrade does nothing.

[Regression Potential]
I can't think of any, but this patch only affects the release upgrade code path.

[Analysis]
This was caused by my refactoring during the quantal development cycle. The "-d" is not being passed on to ubuntu-release-upgrader, causing it to do nothing when called (at least during raring development).

I am looking into it.

  * Use GLib.timeout_add_seconds instead of deprecated GObject.timeout_add
  * Keep dialogs 33em wide

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into quantal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/1:0.174.4 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 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 to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

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