This is a problem of codename_to_distribution in ubuntutools/misc.py.
When DEB_VENDOR is set to Debian, Ubuntu won't be found.
** Changed in: ubuntu-dev-tools (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Description changed:
Hi,
On a sid machine:
- laney@raleigh> backportpackage -u ppa:laney/ppa -s maverick -d lucid
tuxguitar
- backportpackage: Error: Unknown release codename maverick
+ laney@raleigh> DEB_VENDOR=Debian backportpackage -u ppa:laney/ppa -s
maverick -d lucid tuxguitar
+ backportpackage: Error: Unknown release codename maverick
I guess this is because distro-info uses the running distro to tell you
what releases are available. If it has the facility, you should force it
to always tell you about Ubuntu releases. Or if not, then this needs to
be fixed there first.
Cheers,
Iain
