Public bug reported: when upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, do-release-upgrade complains "WARNING: Failed to read mirror file" [see output below], but continues and if the upgrade is proceeded with, it appears [at least upon a brief inspection] to be successful.
digging a bit further with strace, it seems that the file in question is
/tmp/update-manager-nnnnnn/Ubuntu.mirrors:
open("/tmp/update-manager-AkiIxq/Ubuntu.mirrors", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
indeed, the file is not there:
>l /tmp/update-manager-AkiIxq/U*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34K 2012-04-18 04:46
/tmp/update-manager-AkiIxq/Ubuntu.info
what i'm wondering is if the reference to this file is intentional, and
if so, why it's not there.
