** Description changed:

+ url_downloadable in lucid is used to detect old-release.ubuntu.com
+ upgrades and to figure out the best location to downolaod the release-
+ upgrader tarball. Failure on this is not critical, just leads to using
+ archive.ubuntu.com instead of the selected mirror when a proxy is given.
+ Still worth fixing for the old-release.ubuntu.com upgrade case.
+ 
+ TEST CASE (lucid):
+ 1. use lucid and ensure you use a country proxy like de.archive.ubuntu.com
+ 2. /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to "prompt=normal"
+ 3. run "do-release-upgrade -d" to get to maverick
+ 4. watch the proxy log (e.g. /var/log/squid/access.log) that 
archive.ubuntu.com is used to download 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/maverick.tar.gz
+ 5. install update-manager from lucid-proposed
+ 6. repeat 3
+ 7. verify in the proxy log that de.archive.ubuntu.com (or what mirror you 
selected) is used now
+

  Description:  Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:      9.04
  
  Version: 1:0.111.7
  
  url_downloadable in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-
  packages/UpdateManager/Core/utils.py does not respect a http proxy.
  Therefore
  
  sudo do-release-update -d
  
  hangs whilst checking if the UpdateToolSig is downloadable.
