[Bug 1344035] Re: distribution upgrade tries to continue although doUpdate() failed completely

[Brian Murray]

Looking more closely at the ubuntu-release-upgrader code it seems that
this is deliberate:

1699         # run a "apt-get update" now, its ok to ignore errors, 
1700         # because 
1701         # a) we disable any third party sources later
1702         # b) we check if we have valid ubuntu sources later
1703         # because the (unmodified) sources.list of the user
1704         # may contain bad/unreachable entries we run only
1705         # with a single retry
1706         self.doUpdate(showErrors=False, forceRetries=1)
1707         self.openCache()

After reviewing a few bug reports where the first run of doUpdate failed
completely the second pass of doUpdate did work it seems that failing
after the first run would be wrong. Subsequently, I'm closing this as
Won't Fix.
