Public bug reported:
A common issue when using apt-cacher is that ´do-release-upgrade´ will fail
getting the files for the new release (WARNING:root:file '<release>.tar.gz.gpg'
missing).
Reason is that apt-cacher does not know the new release name and therefore
rejects to retrieve files for it. Most people don't know that behaviour and
even admins forget about it.
To enhance the user experience I suggest to add a new file:
/etc/apt-cacher/conf.d/00ubuntu_releases
This file should only contain the "ubuntu_release_names" configuation option
with all known release names.
Example:
ubuntu_release_names = dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, jaunty,
karmic, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, precise, quantal, raring, saucy,
trusty, utopic, vivid, wily, xenial
If a new release is available then just this config file has to be
enhanced and all users will get the updated package and are then able to
"do-release-upgrade" with apt-cacher.
I even suggest to put this config file in a separate package (e.g. apt-
cacher-ubuntu), that is installed along with the apt-cacher package and
which is valid for all platforms and all releases (as it is just a
simple text file).
Kind regards
Maddes
