Issue body
As of today, a build that was working perfectly fine three days ago fails (without any changes at all).
It currently affect all of my builds, and those of my collegues as well.
Multipass is giving following error:
2022-05-23T10:47:42+02:00 multipassd[172386]: Cannot retrieve headers for https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/buildd/daily/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk.img: Error transferring https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/buildd/daily/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk.img - server replied: Forbidden

Problam A: At that location, there is no "current" folder/symlink
Problem B: I'm building using core20, why is multipass trying to download a cloudimg based on 22.04?
