The reason seems to be that apt-cacher has a regexp of "index files" that it revalidates to recognize updates, and the default regexp does not match "meta-release-development". If you add that, it detects the new release.
There may be another problem: if the quantal.tar.gz changes during the developent cycle, apt-cacher will not notice the change, as it assumes the tar.gz files are versioned packages that are uniquely identified by their name. That case may be solved if the regexp is changed to also match ^[a-z]+\.tar\.gz (i.e. tars without any version number). Does that file change during it's lifetime? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294139 Title: update-manager fail release upgrade if using apt-cacher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/294139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
