Standard SRU procedure is that it gets into Impish, then it gets reviewed by the SRU team. If accepted, it gets backported into the proposed queue where it waits for one week for verification and testing. If it's verified in that week, it gets backported into the release updates. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for more information. Probably about a week out for Impish due to the beta freeze, so that should give a timeline. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to packagekit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943189 Title: "cannot refresh whilst network offline" bug Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in packagekit source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in packagekit source package in Hirsute: Confirmed Status in packagekit source package in Impish: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] In Ubuntu Impish, an issue has been noted in regards to refreshing packages in Plasma Discover for upgrade or installation.
