Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mint 22 to 22.1 update flow with custom Mint and Ubuntu mirrors, then cancel after downloads begin and inspect mintupdate's repository state. Done means the configured repositories remain selected after cancellation and are used for subsequent updates.

Description

BUG

Describe the bug
Mintupdate reverts repositories to Ubuntu and Mint defaults which are extremely slow in my case (<20kB/s)

To Reproduce

  • be on Mint 22
  • select mirrors for Mint and Ubuntu
  • start update to 22.1
  • cancel update when packages are downloaded
  • check repositories in mintupdate

Expected behavior
Configured repositories should be used

Distribution:

  • Linux Mint
  • LMDE
  • Other (please specify)

Software version:
7.0.5 and previous
I started the update process with a previous version when the problem occurred. Then mintupdater got updated to 7.0.5. probably due to the canceling of the update process. But the error still exists.
