LTS release has outdated Ubuntu.mirrors file

[PeterDaveHello]

Seems it was not updated from the mirror list on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors for a long time

for example, Yuan Ze University(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/ftp.yzu.edu.tw-archive) is not in it

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Which version are you talking about? The mirror list is updated on the upload. Utopic on 2014-10-24, and vivid on 2014-09-24.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

Sorry, other way around.

Also what does a long time mean to you?

[PeterDaveHello (peterdavehello)]

at least 6 months, I'm using 14.04.1 LTS

[chaun (ubuntumirror)]

My mirror doens't show up in Trusty either

Mirror was registered on on 2014-05-24.

My mirror is http://mirror.os6.org/ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/mirror.os6.org-archive

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[PeterDaveHello (peterdavehello)]

any updates?

[chaun (ubuntumirror)]

sad face

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I've uploaded a new version of python-apt, which includes updated mirrors file lists, to the Trusty -proposed queue for review by the SRU team.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

While I was here, I decided I might as well do Precise too.

   sudo apt-get install python-apt

Evenm with command:
  apt-cache policy python-apt
