Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
A upgrade from dapper to hardy fails on powerpc because the upgrader points to "ports.ubuntu.com" for the release upgrader apt/python-apt/dpkg backports. Those files are not available on port.ubuntu.com but only on archive.ubuntu.com
TEST CASE (with powerpc):
1. use a powerpc dapper
2. run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d"
3. watch it fail because it can not fetch the required backports
4. run "sudo do-release-upgrade -d --proposed"
5. watch it work
The patch below fixes this:
