ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:19.04.7) disco; urgency=medium

  [ Brian Murray ]
  * 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:
  free space need for /usr could be negative which is wrong

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

Bug description:
  In my case I ran out of diskspace in /usr which required a temporary 4
  GB of more data during upgrade. Things just start to fail, and I can
  tell you - then you are screwed. I find this unacceptable for a wide-
  spread official LTS upgrader.
