Bug Description
Similar to https:/
but affecting Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal"
Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure the debug repositories, like how it is explained in https:/
I ran these commands on a newly created Docker container (docker run --pull always --rm -ti ubuntu:20.04), but a typical bare metal installation should present the same issue:
apt-get update ; apt-get install --yes gnupg
apt-key adv \
--keyserver keyserver.
--recv-keys F2EDC64DC5AEE1F
source /etc/lsb-release
tee /etc/apt/
# Official Ubuntu repos with debug packages
deb http://
deb http://
EOF
2. Try to run `apt-get update` with the new ddebs repo added:
apt-get update
Result is as follows:

Further info as per the "Ubuntu bug reporting guidelines":
1) Output from `lsb_release -rd`:

2) Output from `apt-cache policy apt`:

3) What I expected to happen:
