** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ If there is a network hiccup at the right moment it's possible that some 
sources.list entries will be disabled when a release upgrade is calculated and 
then people could upgrade with surprising results e.g. universe being missing.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ This is somewhat convoluted as we need to create the network error only when 
a specific line is is being tested by the dist-upgrader.
+ 
+ 1) Use a system on xenial or bionic and ensure prompt is set appropriately 
(lts for xenial, normal for bionic)
+ 2) Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file so that universe is a separate line 
from main, restricted, and multiverse
+ 3) Run do-release-upgrade
+ 4) Cancel the release upgrade
+ 5) cd to /tmp/ubuntu-release-upgrader-$tmpname
+ 6) edit DistUpgradeController.py with the attached patch which will cause the 
url check for the universe line to fail
+ 7) run 'sudo ./$release-upgrading-to'
+ 8) wait until you receive the message regarding quantities of packages to 
install, upgrade, etc
+ 9) look at /etc/apt/sources.list file and notice that the lines with universe 
are disabled
+ 
+ With the release-upgrader from -proposed you'll need to follow the same
+ steps and you'll notice that the lines with universe are not disabled.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Because we are checking each unique uri in sources.list only one time its 
possible that if the first check fails then the upgrade will fail to be 
calculated. That is better than upgrading and having components disabled though.
+ 
  I took a bionic system and stepped through bionic->cosmic->disco via do-
  release-upgrade.
  
  Upon finishing I noticed that universe was "gone" and all packages from
  universe were removed from the system. Based on the files on my system,
  it looks like it happened during the bionic->cosmic upgrade. You'll see
  in the sources.list that cosmic-updates universe pocket is that but not
  cosmic universe.
