[Bug 574163] [NEW] PPC upgrade karmic -> lucid: archive.canonical.com is overwritten

[guillermo.odone]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm updating a G3 ppc Notebook from Karmic to Lucid.
I tried to do the update through the Update Manager but always error:
"Cannot access to partner/.../Packages"

so I downloaded: the file lucid.tar.gz from:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/lucid.tar.gz

In file "DistUpgradecontroller.py" at line "622" is this code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                if (entry.type == "deb" and
                    not "ports.ubuntu.com" in entry.uri and
                    (self.arch == "powerpc" or self.arch == "sparc")):
                    logging.debug("moving %s source entry to 'ports.ubuntu.com' " % self.arch)
                    entry.uri = "http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To bypass the error I added a line for "archive.canonical.com" string
too, so the code now is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                if (entry.type == "deb" and
		    not "archive.canonical.com" in entry.uri and
                    not "ports.ubuntu.com" in entry.uri and
                    (self.arch == "powerpc" or self.arch == "sparc")):
                    logging.debug("moving %s source entry to 'ports.ubuntu.com' " % self.arch)
                    entry.uri = "http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thanks, great job.
Guillermo.
