Ubuntu prompting for upgrade when none is available

After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10, my system was continually telling me that there was an update available and to run `do-release-upgrade` to install it. Running this command yields
{{{
root@server:/home/dlasley# do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
}}}
but the system still prompts for an update. This is due to an issue with the Ubuntu upgrade script not setting permissions correctly. To resolve this issue, open a terminal console and enter:
{{{
sudo chmod -x /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-motd
}}}
The system will no longer prompt you to update (unless there is actually an update available)
