When updating Ubuntu 19.04 (disco) to 19.10 (eoan), ubuntu-release-upgrader throws the following error about missing package information and a missing ubuntu-minimal-package (in German):
```
Ungültige Paketinformationen
Das benötigte Paket »ubuntu-minimal« wurde nach der Aktualisierung
Ihrer Paketinformationen nicht gefunden. Dies kann daran liegen, dass
Sie keine offiziellen Spiegel-Server in Ihren Paketquellen
eingetragen haben oder ein Spiegel-Server überlastet ist.
Ihre derzeit eingerichteten Paketquellen finden Sie in
/etc/apt/sources.list. Im Falle eines überlasteten Spiegel-Servers
können Sie es später erneut versuchen.
```
In my `/etc/apt/sources.list`, the Ubuntu mirrors are specified through `mirrors.txt` and `mirrors://` URLs, as in
```
deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt/ disco main restricted
...
```
When I change that manually to a regular HTTP URL for some fixed mirror (e.g. `deb http://de.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ disco main restricted`), it works and the upgrade process proceeds normally.
It looks like ubuntu-release-upgrader does not recognize the `mirrors://` URL format when the package sources from disco to eoan. As a result during the upgrade process the sources list ends up almost empty (only InRelease packages), and consequently the ubuntu-minimal package is not found.
