[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

I noticed the abovementioned article yesterday. To quote the accompanying text:

""This release addresses an issue (LP: #2033977) where the security
pocket in sources.list can end up not configured matching documented
best practices. It is recommended to configure the $series-updates to
come from security.ubuntu.com, to minimize the effect of mirroring
delays.

Affected systems will be ones installed with Ubuntu 23.04, 22.04.3LTS,
or installs done since April 2023 that accepted the snap version
update.

To correct systems already installed, please modify
/etc/apt/sources.list, look for the lines containing -security, and
update them to use http://security.ubuntu.com.""


The relevant Launchpad page is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2033977


I've checked various systems and I don't have this problem. However,
for people who aren't aware of this problem, will running "Software
Updater" fix this problem?

TIA,


Ian
