[Impact]
After Ubuntu 13.04 is released, users on 12.10 will occasionally be prompted by update-notifier about the new release. If they click on the "Upgrade Now" button in the dialog that appears, nothing will happen.
They can still upgrade via update-manager, but still. That's a pile of fail on something users will expect to work.
This is a regression from 12.04.
[Test Case]
0) Be on Ubuntu 12.10
1) Run /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d
2) Click the "Upgrade Now" button
Notice how nothing happens.
[Regression Potential]
Very low, since it doesn't work at all now. The changes are small and isolated to this one binary.
[Original Report]
I have submitted an apport report for this already, but I think it is better to submit it manually too.
I have tried to run
/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d
just to see what happens next. It has found the Raring release, I have pushed the "Yes, Upgrade Now!" button, and got this:
$ /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d
Traceback (most recent call last):

That would be easy to fix, I tried to do the following to DistUpgrade/GtkProgress.py :
- uifile = datadir + "gtkbuilder/AcquireProgress.ui"
+ uifile = datadir + "/gtkbuilder/AcquireProgress.ui"
But now a brand new crash happens, and I'm stuck:
$ /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk -d

This is possibly a duplicate of bug 1097907 which is being worked on.
