2019-04-08 21:00:10 Brian Murray description In the interest of improving release upgrades for users of PPAs a check was added to ubuntu-release-upgrader to see if the release to which the system is being upgraded is provided by a sources list entry and if it is not that entry is disabled. This check uses the function url_downloadable which is provided by update-manager's utils.py. Come to find out the url_downloadable check only supports ftp and http, not https. This can cause a situation where upgrades to the next release of Ubuntu fail if the system's mirror of the Ubuntu archive is using https. This is mentioned here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1807043/comments/10. While the bug manifests itself in ubuntu-release-upgrader it needs fixing in update-manager.

[Impact] In the interest of improving release upgrades for users of PPAs a check was added to ubuntu-release-upgrader to see if the release to which the system is being upgraded is provided by a sources list entry and if it is not that entry is disabled. This check uses the function url_downloadable which is provided by update-manager's utils.py. Come to find out the url_downloadable check only supports ftp and http, not https.

While the bug manifests itself in ubuntu-release-upgrader it needs fixing in update-manager and will require a rebuild of ubuntu-release-upgrader which has a symlink to utils.py which is shipped in the dist-upgrader tarball. [Test Case] update-manager - only ubuntu-release-upgrader uses url_downloadable but I added a test to update-manager to ensure that https works, the test may be skipped though if the https test site is not available so keep an eye out for that. ubuntu-release-upgrader 1) On a xenial or bionic system edit your sources.list file so that you are using an https mirror of the archive. 2) try to upgrade to the next release of ubuntu using 'do-release-upgrade' With the version of ubuntu-release-upgrader in the archive you will not be allowed to upgrade because ubuntu-minimal will not be found. With the version in -proposed, accessed by using 'do-release-upgrade -p' you should be able to upgrade to the next release of Ubuntu. [Regression Potential] There isn't much chance of a regression as we are just adding https to the list of schemes that we will test with urlopen.
