[Bug 1744722] Re: Unknown bad source brings up during 'zesty' to 'artful' upgrade and It break the process

[ZdravkoG]

Finally I can confirm, that the @Jean-Baptiste Lallement's idea work... 😎😉
I have download the buggy artful upgrader from "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/artful-updates/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/artful.tar.gz", manually extract its content and apply proposed path to "DistUpgradeController.py". After that everything is done and I already have Ubuntu Artful (17.10) upgraded and working.
At time of this post writing, upgrader version (timed 2017-10-31 17:48) is still the buggy one. It's time the path to be applied in "artful.tar.gz", so automatic upgrade to be possible through update manager (not by hand, like me, at least for other people).
@Jean-Baptiste Lallement THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!

Bug description:
  During update after release 'zesty' 'end of life' strange error
  appear:

  E:The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release'
  does not have a Release file.

  This error prevent upgrade process. There is no entry like 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' in my 'sources.list'. I have no idea where this entry comes from. During regular packages update try, only appears error messages directly related to 'end of life' release state. No error like above. I am not sure, but it seems like 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' is wrongly formatted and have no idea where this comes from as all. Here is my sources list (as is now). As could be seen from the sources list my install is from 2014. Over the years I make upgrade after 'end of life' release few times without any problems. Now is the first time I have such issue.
  Thanks in advance!
