 /etc/olpc-release contained 8.2 for release 8.2.0, bug #8622 was filed but
 it appears it was never fixed for release.

 The bug remains in release 8.2.1.  As a result
 bitfrost/update/actinfo.py's get_release_version() returns "8.2" and
 get_major_version() returns None.  As a result, Software update never
 attempts to read ''some_update_url''/8.2.1, even though it's supposed to
 try that before ''some_update_url''/8.2 (see
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_updater).  As a result Etoys fails to
 update to its latest version for release 8.2.1 that's carefully specified
 in http://etoys.laptop.org/xo/8.2.1

 Fixing /etc/olpc-release to contain 8.2.1 makes all this work.

 A workaround is to create http://''some_update_url''/802 , where 802 is
 the build number of Release 8.2.1.  Software update tries to read this
 before anything else.
