Let me try explaining again. This all hinges on the concept, "2.0.2
update manager keeps insisting I update
to 2.0.3, which fails."

I understand it is still a release candidate, and I found it easily
enough in the repository. Point is, the automated Update Manager was
initiating this process. I was not manually searching for the update.

I also understand the existence of the information and download page,
which is there awaiting the final release.

What I don't understand is why the Update Manager is automatically
notifying and recommending download of the RC when it is not actually
available to the automated process, and is not yet out of testing.

My only speculations are:
- This occurs because I originally installed during beta testing for
2.x
- This is occurring for all users who installed after public release
due to some configuration error in notification, and will likely cause
confusion.

Not a problem for me, I figured it out, and am simply reporting it. My
concern is for the average user. (In fact, I know that SM is currently
being tested in one corporate setting of which I am aware. I suspect
the behavior would not impress.)

OK, Thanks Robert.

That is all I was getting at. And thank you also for the additional
info. I simply did not know if there was a beta test flag set in the
browser, as such.

Cheers.
