601624 - Update manager not working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 601469

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

Build ID: 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101004 Firefox/4.0b7pre

============================================================================

Steps: 

1.Install a build from here 

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2010/10/2010-10-03-04-mozilla-central/

2. Navigate Help->About Minefield

==============================================================================

Expected: 
Update manager should automatically search for an update and install. 

===============================================================================
Actual: 
Update manager echoes "Minefield is up to date", which is incorrect since 
we have a newer build for /latest-trunk

I tried updating from Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101002 Firefox/4.0b7pre to the latest nightly, on XP, but I didn't an update offer. I'll attach the app update log.

There is also bug 601500 for re-enabling nightly updates.
