[Impact]
* Regression when applying a package profile through landscape on
ubuntu-19.10. Process will stack-trace.
* The issue is caused by removal of some obsolete methods from
python-apt.
* The backported patch replaces old rewrite_section() by
TagSection.write()
[Test Case]
* On ubuntu 19.10 (eoan) install landscape-client, run landscape-config,
and create a package profile on the account.
* check /var/log/landscape/package-changer.log for exceptions.
[Regression Potential]
* The change has already been published for ubuntu 20.04 and is
verified.
* Patched callsites are only used by package profiles, which would limit
the effect of regressions.
* One possible regression could be in encoding errors,
as the new methods handle binary files directly instead of receiving
strings. This would imply an issue with python-apt.
[original description]
There has been an API change in focal/eoan for python3-apt >= 1.9, and the
