[ Impact ]

* A new sosreport version is available upstream, and following the
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates policy for stable release
exception we will now SRU the sosreport 4.8.2 upstream release.

* This release introduces a couple of new plugins as well as bugfixes
done between the previous Ubuntu 4.7.2 sosreport version and the new
4.8.2.

[ Test Plan ]

 * The detailed test plan can be found on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SosreportUpdates and should be tested by a
couple of users.

[ Where problems could occur ]

* Some plugins might stop working, and this will show when running
sosreport.

* If there is an issue with a plugin that is causing instability to the
system, this can be disabled by running 'sosreport -n <plugin_name>'.

* Currently running sos collect with Juju 3 is -not- working, even for
the current 4.5.6 Ubuntu version, we are working upstream on a fix here:
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/3422 this is not part of the core
functionality of sos, and one can still run sos report manually on the
nodes.
