Public bug reported:
# Impact
DistUpgradeFetcherKDE uses the HTML URI for release notes to get the html
version and render it in a qtextview. The fetching however is handled through
urllib and apparently there is server-side settings in place preventing the
html to be fetched via urllib resulting in 403 errors no matter what. The
errors in turn result in critical errors from which the present fetcher code
doesn't let you proceed to the upgrade itself rendering upgrades impossible.
# Test Case
- `kdesudo -- do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE`
- Upgrade nodes should be displayed without error
# Regression Potential
This technically degrades visual behavior of the fetcher, practically it
doesn't since it appears to me that the HTML URI didn't work with live servers
due to them apparently having always thrown 403s
# Other Info
Ideally IMO the server side restriction ought to be removed. History suggests
this wouldn't get done quicker than this behavior change though.
