Bug Description

RELEASE

Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS Jammy, upgraded from 20.04 Focal.

WHAT I EXPECTED TO HAPPEN

The upgrade process upgrades both the deb-src and deb entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.

WHAT HAPPENED INSTEAD

The deb-src entries are still pointing to Focal, even though the deb entries have correctly been updated to Jammy.

Fortunately I noticed this while manually editing the file. But people using sed to edit the file (which I considered doing) could have had inconsistent binary and source dependencies.

I discovered this on an /etc/apt/sources.list that had additional sources at the end added by my server host. But I have also reproduced this on a Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS system upgraded from 21.10 that has only used the official /etc/apt/sources.list.

This attachment contains /var/log/dist-upgrade/ from the Jammy Server. Unfortunately I could not extract apt-term.log or apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz because they both caused KDE's sftp kioslave to crash despite repeated attempts.

In lieu of apt-term.log, I have attached the terminal log for the update from Focal to Jammy.

Yeah, I think this is awkward behavior and we should fix it. I don't think this is something we need to SRU, but I will prepare a fix for the next development cycle.
