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

[Oliver Grawert]

it was a wily chroot (I didnt have a vivid one at hand) but that should
only vary minimally.

note that we force deb-src for all entries (since up to now we could and
it eases development a lot, i guess if you really want to ship the pre-
generated lists, we'd have to reverse this decision (and check if there
are any developer tools that make use of these entries))

while we dont enable -proposed, we do enable the overlay PPA (including
source as above), which should bring roughly a similar amount of package
entries in as -proposed does (a growing number somewhere between 100 and
200).

i think with the current sources.list setup that is shipped my numbers
are not far off.

could we not consider some other solution inside apport ? 
like making it use a simple manifest file instead of apt to determine if a package in the readonly image is valid. after all we dont officially support making the system writable and using apt so the manifest generated at build time will have accurate data for our use cases and is only a few kilobyte big.

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.
