Bug description:
[ Impact ]
openssh-server is always installed to the target machine regardless of the
user's explicit choice to not have it installed.
Backporting the fix will allow image builds to pick up it up and
become available for the next point release.
The upload fixes the bug by removing ssh-import-id from the server-
minimal seed and meta-package such that it's not part of the base
layer copied over during install.
[ Test Plan ]
live images -- Test 1:
1. Download the latest server installer image from
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/jammy/daily-live/
2. Perform a regular install using the image and on the "SSH configuration"
screen make sure "Install OpenSSH server" is NOT selected.
3. Finish the install and reboot the machine.
4. Login to the rebooted machine using the credentials provided during
install.
5. Using "apt-cache policy openssh-server" and "apt-cache policy
ssh-import-id" confirm neither are installed.
live images -- Test 2:
- Perform Test 1 but instead opt-in to installing openssh-server and ensure
it is installed in the target system.
live-images -- Test 3:
- Perform Test 2 but in a completely offline fashion.
pre-installed images:
- Download the latest preinstalled image from:
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/jammy/daily-preinstalled/
- Boot the image and, using the same commands as above, confirm
openssh-server and ssh-import-id ARE installed
[ Where problems could occur ]
- openssh-server could be included in the build through other means than
identified by the proposed upload, causing the package to be still installed by
default.
- openssh-server and ssh-import-id could fail to become part of the pool,
prohibiting offline install of the packages.
- Changes to the seeds could cause preinstalled images to lack the package.
- The image build(s) may produce errors if they rely on openssh-server or
ssh-import-id already being available in a layer in which it's now no longer
included. (I can't say it's likely but it is worth mentioning)
[ Other Info ]
* I have built test images for ubuntu-cpc, both minimized and non-minimized,
with my seed changes and verified those images will still correctly contain
ssh-import-id and open-ssh-server
[ Original Description]
With 22.04, openssh-server is baked into the image curtin copies to
the target. The ssh:install-server key no longer controls whether
openssh-server gets installed. It should be easy enough to have the
bit of code that installs openssh-server when the key is true also
remove it when the key is false.
