[Impact]
The backend API change made update-manager crash when the updated incompatible backend was loaded to the not updated running update-manager process.
The issue causes crashes upon update-manager updates harming the upgrade experience for users.
The fix avoids lazy loading of the backend modules but still honors the backend selection options.
[Test Case]
1. Start with a fully upgraded system and downgrade a few packages to let u-m upgrade them and also downgrade update-manager to 1:16.04.12 or earlier:
$ sudo eatmydata apt install -y --allow-downgrades gnome-software=3.28.1-0ubuntu4 gnome-software-common=3.28.1-0ubuntu4
$ sudo apt install update-manager=1:16.04.12 update-manager-core=1:16.04.12 python3-update-manager=1:16.04.12
2. Start u-m with:
$ update-manager --no-update
3. Upgrade update-manager to a still not fixed version to observe the crash:
$ sudo apt install update-manager=1:16.04.14 update-manager-core=1:16.04.14 python3-update-manager=1:16.04.14
... or to the fixed version to a see the crash not happening in step 4:
$ sudo apt install update-manager=1:16.04.15 update-manager-core=1:16.04.15 python3-update-manager=1:16.04.15
4. Press "Install Now" on u-m GUI.
The fixed u-m will successfully perform the installation, the unfixed one will fail with:
TypeError: commit() missing 1 required positional argument: 'pkgs_remove'
[Regression Potential]
The change to the backend API could cause u-m not able to remove unused kernels, but in my testing this feature still worked.
