** Description changed:

- I'm unable to trigger upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 , and there is no
- obvious error that i'm getting:
+ It is possible for ubuntu-release-upgrader to save a captive web
+ portal's html page as if it were meta-release information from
+ changelogs.ubuntu.com, either in ~/.cache/update-manager-core/meta-
+ release or /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release. In either case this
+ behavior is wrong and that should not be saved.
+ 
+ Perhaps a simple to check to see if the data is plain text or html would
+ work.

+ Original Report
+ ---------------
+ I'm unable to trigger upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10 , and there is no obvious 
error that i'm getting:
  
  I made sure that Prompt is set to normal in /etc/update-manager/release-
  upgrades  (also confirmed in the GUI)
  
  apt-get update runs successfully and then do-release-upgrade returns:
  
  No new release found
  
  I've tried to use the main-servers , I've tried running apt-get upgrade
  , apt-get dist-upgrade, nothing is changing this behavior.
  
  The GUI software update reports: "the software on this computer is up to
  date"
  
  Ubuntu basically fails silently to inform me that there are new
  releases, and does not show any issue.
  
  I'm within a fairly simple network, I'm not behind a caching server
  (unless there is a transparent one at the ISP or so)
