There's no firewall of any kind in this particular environment either.

Juat a quicky to let you know that I have just upgraded Ubuntu to the latest LTS release, 12.04.
Same issue, though.

Ha| A manual upgrade to ATP 2.2.5 solved the issue.

Before I close the ticket, I do have one question. At which point did you get a complaint about cURL? What did the error message read?

The error was thrown when I attempted to upgrade ATP from 2.0.5.
The verbose read:
"Your server indicates that Live Update is not supported. Please contact your host and ask them to enable the cURL PHP extension or activate the URL fopen() wrappers. If these are already enabled, please ask them to configure their firewall so that it allows access to the following URL:";

OK, that was my guess too. Yes, that was fixed sometime in the 2.1.x release cycle, it makes sense that installing 2.2.5 fixed it.
