Research direction

Start by reading usr/lib/checks.py and tracing how the upgrade check obtains the user's configured source settings. Reproduce the check with a local source, then verify it uses that source instead of packages.linuxmint.com and no longer blocks the upgrade.

Description

I can not access "packages.linuxmint.com", so I changed it to a local source.
Despite this, "usr/lib/checks.py" checks for "packages.linuxmint.com" instead of the user's source settings.
Since I can not access that site, I am stuck on 21.3 until this is fixed.
