[Bug 289952] Re: update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors
In comment #13 I said that creating /etc/update-manager/release- upgrades.d/DistUpgrade.cfg allowed me to work around the problem. It looks like this approach has at least one major problem: On a system that has a variety of PPAs configured, if I do the aforementioned AllowThirdParty = true hack, these PPA sources all get rewritten to use precise instead of lucid. If any PPA no longer exists in Precise, the upgrade fails. The old behavior was smart enough to rewrite just the sources for the local mirror, and disable the rest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289952 Title: update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/289952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could not get past this hang (reproduces when running apt-get install -f or similar) until memtest86+ was removed (via dpkg -r memtest86+). (Also had to remove ubuntu-standard for now, since it has a Depends: on memtest86+ for some reason, instead of a Recommends:) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289952 Title: update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/289952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Bug 773823 was marked as a duplicate of this bug. I am not sure the use cases are really the same. For one thing, in the former case, the symptom is that the upgrade *fails*. In the latter case (this bug), the reported symptom is that the upgrade succeeds, but forces one to use official (external) mirrors. (Also, 773823 deals with upgrades *from* lucid, while this deals with upgrades *to* lucid. I suspect the root cause is different between these cases.) ** Tags added: dist-upgrade iso-testing lucid2precise precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289952 Title: update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/289952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 289952] Re: update-manager rewrites sources.list to only use official mirrors
** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager When upgrading from hardy to intrepid, update-manager ignores the local sources.list and downloads everything needed from archive.ubuntu.org. This is problematic for multiple reasons. - 1. Some users may have a local or regional mirror that provides faster downloads than archive. Ignoring sources.list prevents them from using those local mirrors, possibly causing substantial bandwidth costs. - 2. During the initial release window for intrepid thousands of Ubuntu users are going to upgrade. Will archive be able to handle the demand? + 1.
