Bug Description
I'm working on a update to software-properties in 16.04 to support the Ubuntu Pro tab. That work was already released to >=18.04, containing, for example, in commit "Show extended security maintenance status"[1]:
```python
def current_distro():
distro = aptsources.
di = distro_
releases = di.get_
[...]
```
That is functionality introduced in versions 0.15 and 0.16 of distro-info, for which Xenial didn't receive a backport yet.
Test Plan
---------
1. Install the update.
2. Verify that running this in a shell prints a list of a correct list of EOL date (in YY-MM-DDDD format) and distribution name to the standard output:
--->
python3 <<EOF | sort -n
import distro_info
for d in distro_
print("%s %s" % (d.eol, d.codename))
EOF
<---
Regression potential
-------
If something were wrong with this update, reverse dependencies could misidentify a given release, e.g. by incorrectly assessing a user release as supported or no longer supported, LTS or non-LTS etc..
