Merge lp://qastaging/~psivaa/utah/bug-1343881 into lp://qastaging/utah

Convert to use distro_info instead please (see: python-distro-info, I think it's used elsewhere in utah probably). This would be more pythonic, and probably a bit more concise as well.

looks ok to me

In the following code:

17 + try:
18 + ubuntu_distro = distro_info.UbuntuDistroInfo()
19 + except Exception as e:
20 + logging.error("Can not find distro info %s", e.message)
21 +
22 + if self.st_release != ubuntu_distro.devel():
23 + self.url = os.path.join(DEFAULT_URL, self.st_release)
24 + else:

If distro info data is obsolete, ubuntu_distro will be undefined and the rest of the code will fail. I'd rather do:
try:
    ubuntu_distro_devel = distro_info.UbuntuDistroInfo().devel()
except:
    logging.error(...)
    exit

A fallback to a default distro might also be an option but it'll require to update the code every new release.

Thanks for the comments again jibel. Fixed it. Could you pls take a look at rev 1056?
