Michael: `/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release` does not exist on my system. The update-manager folder is there, but it is empty.
There is a meta-release file in `/root/.update-manager/` as well, and it is identical to the one in my ~. ------------------ Sebastian: I guess it is possible, but the most serious thing I have done to my system in the last year was to get a second hard drive, and move my /home to a partition on the new drive. If you think that is what caused the issue, then I'll just remove the root-owned meta-release file in my ~ and go about my business... heh.
