Public bug reported: I'm trying to request a series of backports (see bug 1827329 for details).
Normally I've marked the codename-backports project as also affected, but since https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports talked about `requestbackport` I wanted to use that. When attempting to run it on 19.10 though, I get the following error message: $ requestbackport widelands Ubuntu's backports are not for fixing bugs in stable releases, but for bringing new features to older, stable releases. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports for the Ubuntu Backports policy and processes. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the process for fixing bugs in stable releases. Press [Enter] to continue. Press [Ctrl-C] to abort now. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/requestbackport", line 308, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/requestbackport", line 301, in main check_existing(package, destinations) File "/usr/bin/requestbackport", line 93, in check_existing project = Launchpad.projects[release + '-backports'] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/resource.py", line 1001, in __getitem__ raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'eoan-backports' Looking at https://launchpad.net/ubp, it seems that bionic-backports is the latest existing projects. I suspect that might be related to the error I'm getting. I figure I shouldn't be getting an error. Is there a different way to request backports these days?
