[Bug 1848829] Re: distribution upgrade failed due pip install of distro-info

Thu Nov 19 13:08:29 UTC 2020

Hello Kent, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader into groovy-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:20.10.14 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 on 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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users with a python pip installation of distro-info are not able to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS because the pip version of distro-info does not contain information which the Ubuntu version of the package does. More generally, locally installed python packages can interfere with the release upgrade process due to how the process is started.

  [Test Case]
  The pip version of distro-info which is available Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is not installable as the distro-info package is a greater version, however one can workaround this by manually removing python3-distro-info (sudo dpkg -r --force-depends python3-distro-info), pip3 install distro-info, and then reinstalling python3-distro-info.

  1) on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS system install pip
  2) pip install distro-info
  3) Run do-release-upgrade
  4) Observe a crash with a Traceback re distro-info and get_all

  With the version of the release-upgrader from -proposed you will not
  experience such a crash.

  [Regression Potential]
  The change is to start python3 with "-s" which will not add the user side directorty to sys.path. This is a safe change but we should still ensure that upgrades succesfully complete to the next release of Ubuntu. Which should also check and ensure that all packages and snaps are updated.
