Bug Description

Steps to reproduce (on Quantal):

1. Press Alt+F2 and type "update-manager --devel-release"
2. If any packages are out-of-date, update them first
3. When prompted that Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) is available, click "Upgrade"
4. Type your password at the authentication prompt, and click "Authenticate"

Expected result: A release upgrade dialog should appear

What happens instead: Nothing.

Workaround:

$ sudo su
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main restricted universe multiverse" > /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-security main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-updates main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring-backports main restricted universe multiverse" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade
# exit
