[Bug 2039590] [NEW] after upgrade to mantic, duplicate entries in /etc/apt/sources.list

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

Running 'apt showsrc' on mantic I saw surprising output:

[...]
W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:42 and /etc/apt/sources.list:58
W: Target Packages (main/binary-i386/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:42 and /etc/apt/sources.list:58
W: Target Packages (main/binary-all/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list:42 and /etc/apt/sources.list:58
[...]

And line 58 is:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security main restricted #
auto generated by ubuntu-release-upgrader

this is a duplicate of the lines I already had in sources.list before
upgrade.

diffing /etc/apt/sources.list against /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade,
aside from the change in release name, I see the following added lines:

+deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic main restricted # auto generated by ubuntu-release-upgrader
+deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-updates main restricted # auto generated by ubuntu-release-upgrader
+deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security main restricted # auto generated by ubuntu-release-upgrader

It looks like the upgrader quirk to handle the case where
security.ubuntu.com is missing from sources.list might be misfiring?

Also I see no justification for adding archive.ubuntu.com to the
sources.list, which clearly already had a mirror configured prior to the
update.  We should not be adding archive.ubuntu.com to sources.list on
upgrade.
