[Bug 1590358] Re: universe description incorrectly suggests software may be non-free

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt-setup into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-
setup/1:0.104ubuntu4.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: apt-setup (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

  The comment above the universe section of sources.list in both desktop
  and server installs of xenial is the same as that for multiverse:

  ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
  ## team, and may not be under a free licence. Please satisfy yourself as to
  ## your rights to use the software. Also, please note that software in
  ## universe WILL NOT receive any review or updates from the Ubuntu security
  ## team.

  This changed between wily and xenial (with the upload of
  1:0.104ubuntu1); previously, it correctly read:

  ## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
  ## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
  ## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.

  This old comment should be restored.
