Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

The release no longer supported message is missing when a release is set to "Supported: 0"

TEST CASE (hardy):
1. use update-manager from hardy
2. edit /etc/lsb-release and change DISTRIB_CODENAME from hardy to dapper (as this is no longer supported)
3. run update-manager verify that no "no longer supported message" is displayed
4. install update-manager from hardy-proposed, repeat 3 and verify that it works now

TEST CASE (jaunty):
1. use update-manager from stock jaunty
2. edit /etc/lsb-release and change DISTRIB_CODENAME from jaunty to gutsy
-DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
+DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
3. run update-manager and verify that there is no dialog about the no longer supported distro

4. install update-manager from jaunty-proposed
5. run "update-manager" and verify there is a warning dialog about the distro no longer supported

TEST CASE (intrepid, hardy).
1. same as above for jaunty, put DISTRIB_CODENAME to gutsy and verify the missing warning and the fix

I can confirm that the version of update-manager in jaunty, 1:0.111.7, does not warn about releases that are no longer supported, and have verified that the version in jaunty-proposed, 1:0.111.8, gives a warning about unsupported versions. It does continue to offer release upgrades and install available updates.

I do note that update-manager-text gives no warning (nor does it offer a release upgrade, I'm assuming that capability is not yet in place). Also, does adept_updater need a similar fix? I tried adept-updater from 8.04 updates, 2.1.3ubuntu25.1, and it gave no warning about an unsupported release; adept from jaunty didn't appear to either, but I wasn't running a full kubuntu desktop there.

I can confirm the package in -proposed works.

Before updating, Hardy's update-manager wanted me to upgrade to Intrepid. After the update, it's telling me to upgrade to Lucid.
