FYI This bug still exists (in Focal/Mantic made to use `devel`: `sudo sed -i 's/focal/devel/g' /etc/apt/sources.list` - https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-as-rolling-release/14751/106).
Any alternatives or workarounds to get as close to "rolling release" as possible, please? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728616 Title: using 'devel' in sources.list causes apt-get update to fail Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Our /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this: $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel main restricted universe multiverse | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-updates main restricted universe multiverse | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-security main restricted universe multiverse | deb http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-backports main restricted universe multiverse I noticed today that 'apt-get update' started failing. Likely that started on Thursday or Friday when bionic opened. This seems less than desireable, but even if the failure is expected, what is the solution to "accept" this change? It does mention 'apt-secure(8)' but nothing there obviously points to the solution. $ sudo apt-get update Hit:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/uvtool-dev/master/ubuntu devel InRelease Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel InRelease [235 kB] Get:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-updates InRelease [65.4 kB] Get:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-security InRelease [65.4 kB] Get:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu devel-backports InRelease [65.5 kB] Reading package lists...
