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

[Brian Murray]

Did you mean a vivid chroot with -updates, -security and -proposed?
Regardless, should -proposed be included as those packages wouldn't be
installed on the devices. Additionally, did your sources.list file also
include deb-src lines? Removing that would reduce the size of the files
in /var/lib/apt/lists.  Finally, don't we want to look at the difference
between the existing size of /var/lib/apt/lists/ and one which contains
-updates and -security?  Doing that in a vivid chroot, although on
amd64, I see the following:

(vivid-amd64)root at impulse:/home/bdmurray# ls -lh lists-no-updates-security.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17M Aug 17 13:37 lists-no-updates-security.tar.gz
(vivid-amd64)root at impulse:/home/bdmurray# ls -lh lists-with-updates-security.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18M Aug 17 13:36 lists-with-updates-security.tar.gz

That is only a difference of 1M unless I'm missing something.

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.
