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

[Nick Rosbrook]

Thanks. A few more things:

1. Were you still using /etc/apt/sources.list before the upgrade? Or were you an early deb822 adopter (i.e. already using /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources)?
2. Do you have /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade? If so, can you share that please?
3. Can you please attach the resulting /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources?

According to the log, you have no valid mirrors configured, so u-r-u
goes ahead and generates some default sources (which does not include
universe -- that is a bug in itself IMO):

What's odd is that it appears that u-r-u only looked at
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscode.list.

Title:
  Edubuntu upgrade removed universe repo mantic -> noble

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
