* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: When calculating free space needed for
mount points don't use a negative number as the buffer. (LP: #1786484)
* fix more typos re RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY
* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: When calculating free space needed for
mount points don't use a negative number as the buffer. (LP: #1786484)
* fix more typos re RELEASE_UPRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY
* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py: When rewriting sources.list entries
check to see if the source provides packages for the release to which the
upgrade is occurring. If it doesn't the entry is disabled thereby
improving upgrades with PPAs. (LP: #1807043)
* do-release-upgrade: add a parameter to allow third party mirrors and
repositories, additionally pass along the environmental variable
RELEASE_UPGRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY via pkexec and sudo. (LP: #1807032)
* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: improve messaging regarding failures to
calculate the upgrade and suggest using ppa-purge if PPAs are an issue.
* DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py: in the event there is a failure to
calculate the upgrade provide information about the log files in
/var/log/dist-upgrade. (LP: #1771387)

Title:
RELEASE_UPGRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY env variable not passed to dist-
upgrader tarball
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
ubuntu-release-upgrader indicates that
RELEASE_UPGRADER_ALLOW_THIRD_PARTY can be set in the environment so
that release upgrades will be attempted without commenting out third
party mirrors or repositories, however in practice this is untrue.
This doesn't work because pkexec is used to call do-release-upgrade,
and it doesn't pass on env, and because sudo (used for
DistUpgradeViewText) is called with -E. This should be sorted out so
that the documentation is not lying and so upgrades with PPAs enabled
can be attempted.
Its possible to confirm the fix for this bug by looking at /var/log
/dist-upgrade/main.log for a PPA not being commented out or the
following line:
2018-12-05 14:23:29,008 WARNING mirror check skipped, *overriden* via
config
