Bug Description

I'm testing upgrades for QA. The current scenario is "feisty desktop i386 to gutsy", following the steps in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/DesktopUpgrade .

I installed a Feisty i386 desktop inside VirtualBox. It seems to run fine. Then I cloned the Feisty virtual disk and ran the upgrade to Gutsy inside that. When I try do the upgrade, I run "sudo update-manager -d -c" from a terminal. This brings up the update-manager window and tells me there is a new distribution release 7.10 available. I click the "Upgrade" button, and get a dialog, and I click the dialog's "Uptrade" button, and the result is a Python traceback in the terminal window. The jist: on line 53 of DistUpgradeFetcher.py it uses os.getuid, yet the os module has not been imported.

I added "import os" to the top of the file, and it got past the problematic point.

"dpkg --status update-manager" reports the version as 1:0.59.19.

Michael Vogt told me on IRC that the problem was that I had failed to properly upgrade to feisty-updates. I don't know why that failed, but my second try succeeded so it's OK.
