[Bug 1744722] Re: Unknown bad source brings up during 'zesty' to 'artful' upgrade and It break the process

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:18.04.7

---------------
ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:18.04.7) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * DistUpgradeController.py: Improve wording for the EFI System
    Partition messages as suggested by Steve Langasek in LP 1695666.
  * DistUpgradeFetcherKDE.py: Drop unneeded pyqtSlot, QUrl, breaks
    pyflakes
  * DistUpgradeController.py: Only add a new entry for previously
    unknown mirrors if the new entries distro is a valid release.
    (LP: #1744722)

  [ Po-Hsu Lin ]
  * DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py:
    - use dictionary to simplify the mutiple if check for directories.
    - the use of multiple %s make this string difficult to translate
      for some languages, as the sentence might need to be rearranged.
      Use format() and named-variables to fix this issue.

Bug description:
  During update after release 'zesty' 'end of life' strange error
  appear:

  E:The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release'
  does not have a Release file.

  This error prevent upgrade process. There is no entry like 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' in my 'sources.list'. I have no idea where this entry comes from. During regular packages update try, only appears error messages directly related to 'end of life' release state. No error like above. I am not sure, but it seems like 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu stable Release' is wrongly formatted and have no idea where this comes from as all. Here is my sources list (as is now). As could be seen from the sources list my install is from 2014. Over the years I make upgrade after 'end of life' release few times without any problems. Now is the first time I have such issue.
  Thanks in advance!
