[Bug 2055720] [NEW] Edubuntu upgrade removed universe repo mantic -> noble

[Erich Eickmeyer]

Public bug reported:

Upon upgrade from mantic to noble, my bare metal Edubuntu install
removed the Universe repo from the installation and, therefore, did not
upgrade any Edubuntu-specific packages. I suspect this was caused by the
apt DEB-822 upgrade to the repo and not detecting the universe repo as
required by the Edubuntu installation.

As Edubuntu looks identical to Ubuntu Desktop in terms of installation
on the surface due to it also being a GNOME desktop, I suspect an
assumption may have been derived from this.

Additionally, simply trying `add-apt-repository universe` was
ineffective, so that might need some work as well.

Will attach logs if I can find them, but please do advise what logs you
need.
