Bug description:
[Impact]
* since ubuntu disco, main repositories contains 'cnf' directory with
'Commands*' files. those files are compressed with xy, whereas apt-
mirror 0.5.1 doesn't contain the patch which enable download of .xz
compressed files
* Without this update, users are not able to mirror newer releases of
Ubuntu.
[Test Case]
* On any release of Ubuntu install apt-mirror and add this line to
/etc/apt/mirror.list:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-updates main restricted
universe multiverse
* sync the mirror using `apt-mirror`
* Attempt to run `apt update` against the mirror. The result will be
similar to:
...
Err:7 http://10.3.0.41/ubuntu eoan-updates/main amd64 c-n-f Metadata
404 Not Found [IP: 10.3.0.41 80]
Ign:14 http://10.3.0.41/ubuntu eoan-updates/multiverse amd64 c-n-f Metadata
Ign:15 http://10.3.0.41/ubuntu eoan-updates/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata
Ign:16 http://10.3.0.41/ubuntu eoan-updates/restricted amd64 c-n-f Metadata
Reading package lists... Done
E: Failed to fetch
http://10.3.0.41/ubuntu/dists/eoan-updates/main/cnf/Commands-amd64 404 Not
Found [IP: 10.3.0.41 80]
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones
used instead.
...
* Updating the apt-mirror package from ppa:slashd/test and then re-
running the `apt-mirror` command will then allow a successful `apt
update`.
[Regression Potential]
* The regression potential is low since the package doesn't currently
work properly anyway.
* It's a patchset from a fork repo, if apt-mirror upstream becomes
alive again in the future, it won't necessary mean that the fork will
be commited/merged upstream, and Ubuntu package might differ from
original upstream until next version bump.
[Other informations]
Upstream bug:
https://github.com/apt-mirror/apt-mirror/issues/118
Not much update has been made since Upstream become inactive as noted
from the output of rmadison:
Since Bionic, it is a simple copy from release to active devel release
and so on directly from debian, no patching whatsoever and nothing new
to pull from Debian as well.

The required patchset is from a fork of upstream apt-mirror
josbraden/apt-mirror (https://github.com/josbraden/apt-mirror)
Note that upstream apt-mirror is not active anymore, and is looking
for a new maintainer as published in their github page:
https://github.com/apt-mirror/apt-mirror
That's why we have to rely on the fork atm.
The required patchset are (tested by Chris in the form of a test pkg:
0001-Copy-DEP-11-functions-for-editing.patch
0001-Replace-DEP-11-with-cnf-in-DEP-11-code-copy.patch
0001-Fix-Regex.patch
0001-Improve-regex-for-cnf-file-matching.patch
0001-Remove-dev-note.patch
0001-Fix-missing-parenthesis.patch
I also talked with sil2100 (SRU verification team member) about the
feasibilty of this SRU (from a fork repo):
"
<sil2100> Yeah, I'd say fixes from forked repositories in this case make
sense Since there's no longer any 'one authority' for it.
