Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
# Add a third-party repository without support for quantal (e.g. a PPA)
# Start update-manager
# Click upgrade button
# Wait
# Observe a fatal error dialogue, and a the following fatal error:
<pre>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/update-
sys.
File "/tmp/update-
if app.run():
File "/tmp/update-
return self.fullUpgrade()
File "/tmp/update-
if not self.updateSour
File "/tmp/update-
self.sources = SourcesList(
File "/tmp/update-
self.matcher = SourceEntryMatc
File "/tmp/update-
dist = DistInfo(f, base_dir=
File "/tmp/update-
print("WARNING: Failed to read mirror file")
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error
</pre>
When I run do-unattended-
Thus I am assuming this error is caused by the presence of a ppa without support for quantal.
