Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu without any changes in /etc/apt/sources.list (ensure that is has http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
$ grep http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -v ^# deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse $ ). 2. Launch `software-properties-gtk` and select local mirror, for example Switzerland mirror.switch.ch (or *Select Best Server*), *Reload* lists and check again: $grep http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list | grep -v ^# $ # returns nothing Notes: * I discovered this while upgrading my machines to fix Meltdown vulnerability (as bug 1741934 and kernels 4.4.0-108 and 4.4.0-109). Only one my machine was upgraded to 109. It used *Main server* and http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. * All releases seems to be affected by this mirror-problem. Expected results: * Ubuntu must save http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list for really fast fixing of critical bugs Actual results: * Ubuntu switches all mirrors and disables http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu .
