ubiquity (18.04.6) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * If we are running ubiquity-dm on VT1, we must conflict with
getty@getty1.service and not rely on some other display manager to do
this for us.

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * Drop the option to upgrade from an old release using ubiquity as it is
crashing and leaves users in a broken state. (LP: #1756862)

  [ litianzhi ]

[Brian Murray]

Looking around at other ubiquity bugs we can see that apt-clone with the
restore-new-distro option has not worked for lots of people for quite
some time. As an example bug see bug 1152399 which is a collection of
duplicate bugs where the "install" of Ubuntu failed when calculating the
upgrade from a previous release to a later release of Ubuntu. This
leaves people in a hard to resolve situation and subsequently due to
that issue and this crash with apt-clone we have decided to remove the
option to upgrade a release of Ubuntu from ubiquity.

After modifying apt_clone.py to set "Debug::pkgDPkgPM" I saw the error
messages in the attached screenshot.

[Brian Murray]

I think I was encountering a different problem yesterday as I was trying
to ubiquity upgrade an old (not up to date) version of artful. After
updating my artful system and then trying the upgrade I'm encountering
the error message:

"dpkg: error: cannot stat pathname '/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-7IdNNM': No
such file or directory"

This is the one the original reporter experienced.

Some of those packages are in main. I was able to workaround this by
setting "allow-insecure=true" in the sources.list file in the apt-clone
file, but that is not a solution.
