Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.208.18 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-trusty. 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.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.635

Verification complete on trusty:

1) I started two trusty ubuntu-base livefs builds:

$ start-livefs-build --livefs=~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests --pocket Updates --metadata project='"ubuntu-base"' --metadata image_format='"plain"'
https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests/+build/195865
$ start-livefs-build --livefs=~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests --pocket Proposed --metadata project='"ubuntu-base"' --metadata image_format='"plain"'
https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests/+build/195866

2) When they'd built, I downloaded the artifacts:

$ wget -O ubuntu-base-trusty-updates.tar.gz https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests/+build/195865/+files/livecd.ubuntu-base.rootfs.tar.gz
$ wget -O ubuntu-base-trusty-proposed.tar.gz https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+livefs/ubuntu/trusty/docker-ubuntu-core-tests/+build/195866/+files/livecd.ubuntu-base.rootfs.tar.gz

3) I tested them using this silly script:

mwhudson@anduril:~/tmp/trusty-test$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash -eux

cleanup () {
    for m in dev/pts dev proc sys; do
        umount chroot/$m
    done
    rm -rf chroot
}
trap cleanup EXIT

mkdir chroot
tar -C chroot -xf "$1"
for m in dev dev/pts proc sys; do
    mount --bind /$m chroot/$m
done
cp /etc/resolv.conf chroot/etc
chroot chroot apt update
chroot chroot apt install -y socat
$

The output is rather verbose so it's here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Mgf6qh2RGx/ but the upshot is that the attempt to install socat failed with the -updates tarball and succeeded with the -proposed tarball.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.208.18
