Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

When will this SRU land in Xenial?

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-control-center-signon into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center-signon/0.1.9+16.04.20160719-0ubuntu1 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 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, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Argh, I saw too late that this is already marked as fixed for yakkety , but the version there is 0.1.9+16.04.20160405-0ubuntu1 . I. e. it is smaller than the version in xenial, which breaks upgrades. This is a blocker for releasing the update, so y needs to be updated ASAP.

Same for account-plugins -- this was marked for being fixed in y, but the comment that closes it was for xenial already, and yet the xenial task is still open. This is horribly confusing and wrong, so I mark as v-failed for the time being as at least the wrong gnome-control-center-signon in yakkety needs to be fixed.

g-c-signon now has a higher version in yakkety, resetting to v-needed.

Thanks Martin

A couple of notes about this bug verification:

While the ultimate goal of these proposed packages is to solve the co-installation errors of Unity and KDE in Ubuntu due to a number of file conflicts, this proposed upload alone won't be enough to solve the whole issue, which is mainly due to bug 1451728.

I suggest verifying this bug by:

1) Creating Google, Facebook, Twitter and Flickr accounts and verify that there are no regressions (that is, that the account creation succeeds and that the user name is properly assigned on the newly created accounts)

2) Verifying that a number of files have been removed under /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/; mainly, verify that the file
  /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/www.facebook.com.conf
  is not being shipped by "account-plugin-facebook" anymore.

If you are a KDE user, please also try installing "kaccounts-providers" from this PPA:
  https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/staging-misc/+packages

and check that there are no file conflicts against our "account-plugin-*" packages.

Can some admin please remove the packages from -proposed?

Here is my output for /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.don a 16.10 desktop system that was upgraded from 16.04:

$ dpkg -S /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/*
account-plugin-google: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/accounts.google.com.conf
account-plugin-twitter: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/api.twitter.com.conf
account-plugin-identica: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/identi.ca.conf
account-plugin-windows-live: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/login.live.com.conf
account-plugin-flickr: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/login.yahoo.com.conf
account-plugin-facebook: /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/www.facebook.com.conf
$

These are conffiles. It is not sufficient to stop shipping them in the package, you must also remove them from the filesystem on upgrade using dpkg-maintscript-helper. You can do this, for example, by adding a file debian/account-plugin-google.maintscript to your packaging which contains the following line:

rm_conffile /etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/accounts.google.com.conf 0.13+16.04.20161212~ account-plugin-google

You need to do this for each of the packages which is removing a conffile. And this change also needs to be made for 16.10 and 17.04, since users of those releases who upgraded from 16.04 will still have those files left behind.

An upload of account-plugins to xenial-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "incomplete conffile handling; see bug log for details.".

I've read through this now, but just to double-check:
There's various bug reports with package-conflicts for files in '/etc/signon-ui/webkit-options.d/*' between account-plugins and kaccounts-providers. (For instance bug 1617564)

From what I see, this issue will remove the conflicting files from the account-plugins side and thus fix the issue. Does that mean that these other issues should all be marked as duplicates of this one?

Hello, Hans!

I am sorry for not being more helpful, but I really do not have anything
more to say than: If you think, it is covered, it is covered. If you
think, it is all duplicates, then it will be the case, I trust.

HG, PvdL
