I don't seem to be able to edit the description, so I'll add the SRU testing instructions here.
TEST CASE: 1. Set up jaunty in a virtual machine. Put /tmp on its own partition. 2. After installation, change /etc/fstab to use the noexec option for /tmp. 3. Reboot and verify that /tmp is mounted with noexec. 4. Start dist upgrade (update-manager -d). 5. Verify that the dist upgrade starts, but crashes without error message. 6. Install update from Michael. 7. Re-run dist-upgrade. You should now get an error message. -- update-manager exits on dist-upgrade when tmp is mounted "noexec" and gives useless error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461744 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
