UpgradeStatus can be incorrect

[Brian Murray]

In the general hook for ubuntu there is the following code:

    log = '/var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log'
    if os.path.exists(log):
        mtime = os.stat(log).st_mtime
        human_mtime = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d', time.gmtime(mtime))
        delta = time.time() - mtime

        # Would be nice if this also showed which release was originally installed
        report['UpgradeStatus'] = 'Upgraded to %s on %s (%d days ago)' % (release_codename, human_mtime, delta / 86400)
    else:
        report['UpgradeStatus'] = 'No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)'

This does no checking of main.log to see if the upgrade was actually successful, so if someone is reporting a bug about a failed upgrade of ubuntu-release-upgrader they'll have a confusing 'UpgradeStatus' of today for the previous release.

One thing to do might be to check main.log for "ERROR" and if that exists set 'UpgradeStatus' to unknown.

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

Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that specific release.
