[Bug 1471903] Re: -updates, -security missing from apt lists

[Oliver Grawert]

this is inside an armhf chroot on wily with -updates, -security and
-proposed enabled (note that is not including the overlay PPA indeed,
this would add another few MB):

root at localhost:/# du -hcs /var/lib/apt/lists/
81M	/var/lib/apt/lists/
81M	total
root at localhost:/# tar czf sources.lists.tgz /var/lib/apt/lists/
root at localhost:/# ls -lh sources.lists.tgz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20M Aug 15 10:37 sources.lists.tgz

our tarball size is limited to the size of the cache partition, all
three tarballs (rootfs, device, customization) need to fit into it at
the same time for the update to work, someone needs to check if this is
still the case, afaik we do not have much wiggle room and 20MB are quite
a lot.

on the readonly rootfs partition we have between 200 and 300MB free
space for allowing to make the device writable and install debug,
autopilot or test packages from a silo, cutting off 89MB+ is quite a big
task here and we can not re-partition the devices.

Title:
  -updates, -security missing from apt lists

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  As indicated by Robie in bug 1467830 vivid-updates is missing from
  /var/lib/apt/lists on the phablet images for Ubuntu 15.04. This
  prevents one from using apport-cli to report bugs about packages that
  are from the -updates pocket. This is due to the fact that apport will
  not allow one to report bugs about packages which it cannot determine
  are from the official archive or a native origin PPA.
