Description

Many users report that they cannot automatically upgrade from Tails 3.6.1 to 3.6.2

The error says:

"Could not determine whether an upgrade is available from our website.

Check your network connection, and restart Tails to try upgrading again.

If the problem persists, go to file:///usr/share/doc/tails/website/doc/upgrade/error/check.en.html

For debugging information, execute the following command: sudo tails-debugging-info"

And BINGO!

when running tails-upgrade-frontend-wrapper from the terminal I see:

Invalid signature at /usr/bin/tails-iuk-get-upgrade-description-file line 18.
 at /usr/bin/tails-upgrade-frontend line 19.

Reported privately to anonym yesterday. Looks like one step of the release process failed or something.
