[Bug 1306065] Re: main.log doesn't always report right version of python-apt

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:16.04.4

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:16.04.4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeMain.py: check the apt cache to see what version of
    apt is installed rather than using the apt VERSION string. (LP: #1306065)
  * test/test_sources_list.py: resolve test failures.
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: log packages which will be downgraded.
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeNonInteractive.py: Ensure output when using
    is not garbled as single bytestream escaped characters. Thanks to
    Christopher Lee for the patch. (LP: #1538880)

Title:
  main.log doesn't always report right version of python-apt

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This may actually be a bug with python-apt or apt but I noticed this
  when verifying bug 1286161.

  "Strangely looking at main.log it shows the wrong version of apt being
  used but installed packages in the apt-clone file shows the correct
  version. Testing what the release upgrader uses exhibits the same
  behaviour."
