gnome-boxes cannot find 22.04.2 - Failed to download: Not Found

[Nobuto Murata]

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
osinfo-db:
  Installed: 0.20220214-1ubuntu2.1
gnome-boxes:
  Installed: 42.2-0ubuntu1

Upstream fix:
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/commit/e1739ed6b55f3199e65fc101385d7abd809ea81c

This is pretty much the same as:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/osinfo-db/+bug/1985219
but for 22.04.2 point release.

Selecting and launching Ubuntu 22.04 LTS fails in gnome-boxes because the download URL is 404.

The upstream fix is included in v20230308 so mantic and lunar already have it, but the latest LTS jammy or kinetic doesn't have it.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

Yes, I was waiting for osinfo-db upstream to tag a new release since I believe it's a bit easier for our processes to use tagged releases rather than individual patches.

See also https://launchpad.net/bugs/2017020 which could improve GNOME Boxes to handle updating the downloading URLs for Ubuntu point releases without needing to go through the full Ubuntu Stable Release Update process.
