Why can't I update my version?

[Red Knuckles]

Why does Adept tell one a new version upgrade is availalbe and then when one selects to install it it then tells you 'Could not download release notes' Please check that your internet connection is active How may I update my version Obviously I have a 'net connection or I couldn't run 'Fetch Updates'.

Re: Why can't I update my virgin?

Apparently there's still a bug in the new version update utility. With a perfectly good broadband connection, after I fetch updates, and the "Version Upgrade" button turns blue, here is the error I get when I click it.

Besides, I'm on 2.6.20-14-generic -- I have not seen that there is another version already.

Probably a day or two of patience will fix this one ...

Yeah, probably. I also ran 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade' and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and they did nothing at all.

Those bug reports relate to the next button not working, [grayed out]. My problem is different so I filed this bug report:

Re: Why can't I update my version?

that bug is also fixed in the next update to Adept, see my link above

* Fix kubuntu_07_show_changelog.diff to use correct URL (source
package, not binary package name; no epoch in URL)

Also, it will give us the blue expander buttons back, the ones that used to be to the left of each package to expand the listing. I am liking that

Thanks claydoh. Should I remove my bug report? Don't need anymore than absolutely necessary?

Re: Why can't I update my version?

well only if it fixed it for you, I only see your error if I click on the "version upgrade' button, not when just doing a normal fetch. Still, it is a small bug on my end. If it is still there fo you, keep it open for the moment. but try the
''sudo apt-get update'
and
'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'
to make sure you have all the updates just in case (I think you got them , even with the error, but it is good to verify)

May I ask if your problem is the same as Red Knuckles (starter of this thread) and therefore mine. At least in my case, Adept says it cannot download the release notes. However, if you try to click version upgrade again (without fetching updates or restarting Adept), you should see that the next button is grayed out (at least that is how it is for me).

EDIT: Maybe it's my mistake since the button is grayed out, but not before it gets to the release announcement like that bug's screenshot.
