I tried reporting a bug to launchpad, and it faulted with

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions

I have downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 ten minutes before I tried to report the bug.

How can it was possible? What do I need to do now?

When reporting a bug you should (specially in beta) make sure that you are using the latest package versions available from the Ubuntu servers.

Since 12.04 beta 2 release as a CD, packages have been already updated with fixes on the servers.

The CD images are not constantly updated (unless we are talking about a daily image, but these also can be missing some updates right after download). You need to update your system before successfully reporting a bug.

Do that by opening a terminal and typing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.

Make sure that the bug you where going to report is still present on the new packages, a more recent package update might have already fixed it.
