[Bug 1824430] Re: disco dist-upgrader tarball has a broken symlink in it

[Brian Murray]

** Description changed:

- On upgrade from cosmic to disco, I was shown a bogus message about
- livepatch:
+ [Impact]
+ The dist upgrade process is running old code from cosmic not the new code from disco, which can cause upgrades to go awry in unexpected ways.
  
-   Livepatch security updates are not available for Ubuntu 19.04. If you
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) mkdir -p /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/common
+ 2) touch /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/common/machine-token
+ 3) run do-release-upgrade
+ 
+ With the version of the dist-upgrader in proposed (obtained via do-
+ release-upgrade -p) you will not see the bogus error message cited in
+ the original description.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None that I can think of, we are fixing a regression here.
+ 
+ Original Description
+ --------------------
+ On upgrade from cosmic to disco, I was shown a bogus message about livepatch:
+ 
+   Livepatch security updates are not available for Ubuntu 19.04. If you
  upgrade, Livepatch will turn off.
  
  I'm upgrading from cosmic, which has no livepatch support, so I
  shouldn't be shown this message.
  
  Bug #1816423 seems to be the same symptom, but that is reported as
  fixed.
