apt sources contain "True" entries after upgrade to xenial

[Phil Norbeck]

1) Installed Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (x64)
2) Downloaded xenial-daily-live iso (160304)
3) Booted the xenial-daily-live iso
4) Selected the first option in the installer "Upgrade Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"
5) After, in the upgraded system, ran "apt-get update" many entries of a distro labeled "True" came up.

See attached sources.list.

Here's my original sources.list file:

deb http://192.168.10.7/ubuntu trusty main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://192.168.10.7/ubuntu trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse
#deb http://192.168.10.7/ubuntu trusty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

deb-src http://192.168.10.7/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse

And the one after the upgrade:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 16.04 LTS _Xenial Xerus_ - Alpha amd64 (20160307)]/ xenial main restricted

# deb-src http://192.168.10.7/ubuntu trusty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

With a whole bunch of xenial entries appended after that.

The installer log file fwiw.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Turns out this is an issue with apt-clone not passing the right parameters to its python library.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package apt-clone - 0.4.1ubuntu1

---------------
apt-clone (0.4.1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * apt-clone: pass named parameters on to the AptClone library, to make
    sure we pass on the new distro name properly for upgrades from CD.
