Title:
  autopkgtests fail due to precise being removed from the archive

  Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Bionic:
  Won't Fix
Status in update-manager source package in Focal:
  Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Groovy:

Bug description:
  The autopkgtests for update-manager are failing on stable releases.
  The test is checking for an upgrade from Lucid to Precise but Precise
  has been removed from the archive. This change updates the test so it
  uses Bionic and Focal both of which will be supported longer than
  Hirsute.

  [Test Case]
  verify the autopkgtest passes
