[Bug 1929865] Re: autopkgtests fail due to precise being removed from the archive

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello Brian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted update-manager into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
manager/1:18.04.11.21 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-
bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-bionic. 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.

** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: Won't Fix => Fix Committed

** Tags removed: verification-done-bionic
** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic

Bug description:
  The autopkgtests for update-manager are failing on stable releases.
  The test is checking for an upgrade from Lucid to Precise but Precise
  has been removed from the archive. This change updates the test so it
  uses Bionic and Focal both of which will be supported longer than
  Hirsute.

  [Test Case]
  verify the autopkgtest passes
