Public bug reported: Currently the citrain tool uses the command 'apt-get -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=/dev/null update' to disable sources.list and make sure that only the PPA is installed from. This works fine in most cases, but we've encountered a recent case where a successful install required a package that was in the main archive. Thanks to Mirv (Timo) we located this command that does something similar but still allows the main archive to be used.
apt update -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist="sources.list.d/ci-train-ppa-service- ubuntu-rtm-landing-009-14.09.list" -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="-" -o APT::Get::List-Cleanup="0" We should update the citrain tool to use that command so that we don't hit speed bumps again in future. The only tricky bit will be getting the filename right - a clever use of find should do the trick though.
