[Bug 1839500] Re: Add a future-proof provides btrfs-progs name for ease of usability

 

This bug was fixed in the package btrfs-tools - 4.4-1ubuntu1.1

---------------
btrfs-tools (4.4-1ubuntu1.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add `Provides: btrfs-progs` to btrfs-tools as a more common upstream
    name for the package, which started to be used by default in bionic
    and later. This helps users to install the btrfs utility irrespective
    if they use legacy or the futureproof name. LP: #1839500

Title:
  Add a future-proof provides btrfs-progs name for ease of usability

Status in btrfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in btrfs-tools source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Upstream, other distributions, and Ubuntu Bionic+ use btrfs-progs
  name for this package

   * For historical reasons, this package was called btrfs-tools

   * To ease usability and automation it would be nice if the future-
  proof name would be available on older releases as a Provides:

  [Test Case]

   * $ apt install btrfs-progs

     Should install btrfs-tools package on xenial, and have btrfs

  [Regression Potential]

   * We are rebuilding the btrfs package, and adding extra metadata
  without any other code changes. So the only risks there are, are from
  doing a no-change rebuild of the package.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Examples of automation that install btrfs:
     - ansible playbooks
     - lxd
     - curtin
     - cloud-init
     - juju
     - interactive sysadmins
