[Bug 1884915] Re: ubuntustudio-default-settings recommends linux-lowlatency thus breaking ubuntustudio focal image building

 

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into focal-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.664.3 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-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. 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.

** Changed in: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

  [ Description ]

  ubuntustudio-default-settings recommends linux-lowlatency thus
  breaking ubuntustudio focal image building

  $ reverse-depends linux-lowlatency
  Reverse-Recommends
  * ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings

  Reverse-Depends
  * linux-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 [amd64]
  * linux-lowlatency-hwe-18.04-edge [amd64]

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

  Seeded packages in the Ubuntu archive must not depend on the linux
  kernel. Installation, and defaultness of a kernel flavour must be
  handled externally using livecd-rootfs kernel flavour picking, or some
  other dynamic configuration.

  The above resulted in transitevely linux-lowlatency packages getting
  pulled into the ubuntustudio task, without a blacklist. Which means
  that ABI encoded packages gain Task: ubuntustudio-desktop, and instead
  of only installing/tracking the latest kernel, the ancient
  5.4.0-16-lowlatency abi is also installed, and then production of
  daily focal isos fails, as there are two lowlatency kernels on the
  media.

  [ Fix ]

  The above description indicates what broke. The recommends means that
  the Task field contains a specific kernel ABI. We'll fix this by
  enumerating the packages that we need to ensure aren't included, and
  make sure they are effectively considered as not part of the task.

  [ QA ]

  Build an ubuntustudio/focal ISO with the -proposed livecd-rootfs and
  make sure that it builds successfully and boots.

  [ Regression potential ]

  This is about excluding kernel-related packages from the task
  consideration. If it is wrong then they could be excluded from the
  image completely. That should be obvious if the thing doesn't boot,
  and we'll have to iterate again.

  [ Original description ]

  $ reverse-depends linux-lowlatency
  Reverse-Recommends
  * ubuntustudio-lowlatency-settings

  Reverse-Depends
  * linux-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 [amd64]
  * linux-lowlatency-hwe-18.04-edge [amd64]

  Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in:
  amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

  $ apt-cache show -a linux*lowlatency | grep -e Package -e Task
  ...
  Package: linux-headers-5.4.0-26-lowlatency
  Task: ubuntustudio-desktop
  ...

  If the dependency is desired, that is ok, as long as the abi encoded
  packages are blacklisted in the seed similar to the !linux-image-*
  stanza.
