Public bug reported:

We use apt-cacher-ng configured as apt proxy on every machine and when
trying to upgrade a Xenial machine, I got this:

# do-release-upgrade 
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found.

Running tcpdump showed that do-release-upgrade tried to reach
changelogs.ubuntu.com:443 with a proxy CONNECT through our apt-cacher-
ng. Our apt-cacher-ng returned: "403 CONNECT denied (ask the admin to
allow HTTPS tunnels)".

do-release-upgrade should not ignore those errors silently, it should
report whatever failure it received.


# lsb_release -rc
