allow upgrades to hirsute for Apple hardware

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:21.04.14 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

All autopkgtests for the newly accepted ubuntu-release-upgrader (1:21.04.14) for hirsute have finished running.
The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:

ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:21.04.14 (arm64, s390x, ppc64el, armhf)

Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1].

Thank you!

I have completed verification per test steps on the same machine I describe at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1929449/comments/8

As expected, the machine is refused if I 'do-release-upgrade', and does proceed with the upgrade based on invocation of 'do-release-upgrade --proposed'.

Fix looks good to me.

Marking as done, then; thanks Dan!

The regressions in autopkgtest reports are the same as last time, and unrelated to this change - please bump the version number of the hint.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-release-upgrader - 1:21.04.14
