Bug Description
Binary package hint: python-apt
python-apt defaults to archive.ubuntu.com except for specifically listed architectures. As a result, it removes entries referencing ports.ubuntu.com on upgrade, except for an incomplete list of special-case architectures, which leads to update and upgrade failures.
WORKAROUND:
Those encountering this bug must manually recreate a sources.list that minimally includes:
deb http://
deb http://
Once the bug is fixed, those who have downloaded the fix (after using this workaround) will be able to again use software-properties to adjust the set of sources. Those using releases other than "karmic" are encouraged to replace "karmic" with the appropriate release codename in the lines above.
