There will be no more point releases of focal, which means that this change is very low-risk with respect to focal. But in that case, is it necessary for this change to go in the archive, as opposed to in a Dell-specific archive, since there will also be no other ubiquity SRU changes in focal to worry about merging?

Could we still merge the change into focal and release it into Ubuntu archives? Although there is no point release for focal, will we stop the daily build for focal?

Yes, we have stopped daily builds for focal.

There are some OEM images on focal for few platforms that we are still working on.
It is nice to have ubiquity updates on focal.

There is a ubiquity package in focal-proposed, version 20.04.15.20[1]:

ubiquity (20.04.15.20) focal; urgency=medium

  * Automatic update of included source packages: shim-signed 1.40.9.

This change is not in the upstream focal branch for this project[2], where the latest version is:

ubiquity (20.04.15.19) focal; urgency=medium

  * Backport the ability to unhide passwords that are being typed-in during
    various stages of the installation (LP: #1960306).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-auto
    134ubuntu13.1 (LP: #1959971).

I'd rather not merge https://code.launchpad.net/~fourdollars/ubiquity/+git/ubiquity/+merge/426347 until that is sorted.

Hello Shih-Yuan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubiquity into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/22.04.20 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-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. 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.

I don't see anything to do here for sponsors, so I am unsubscribing sponsors. An upload has been uploaded for jammy and there's outstanding questions for focal that have not been addressed in this bug.

Install Dell oem image on Latitude 7330 Rugged Extreme with ubiquity 22.04.20.

After installation:
1. $ sudo apt update
2. $ sudo apt install debsums
3. $ sudo debsums -c

No `debsums -c` returns the error of /sbin/start-stop-daemon popped.

  * Whenever removing packages, use apt-get autoremove --purge instead of
    apt-get purge so that no-longer-used dependencies are removed together
    with the package in question, and we do not leave behind any packages
    that will be reported as autoremovable later. LP: #1925265.
  * bin/oem-config-remove-gtk uses aptdaemon to remove packages, not
    apt-get. Set the flag to autoremove dependencies here as well.

  [ Nick Rosbrook ]
  * tests: modify test_city_entry to adapt to tzdata update (LP: #2022965)

  [ Shih-Yuan Lee (FourDollars) ]
  * Use dpkg-divert /sbin/start-stop-daemon unconditionally instead of just
