This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.408.41
---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.408.41) xenial; urgency=medium
* Disable checksum generation (LP: #1799773)
livecd-rootfs (2.408.40) xenial; urgency=medium
[ Cody Shepherd ]
* Increasing modularity in relocation of /etc/resolv.conf to enable users
of live-build/functions to manipulate /etc/resolv.conf in a more
granular and future-proof way. LP: #1801134.
livecd-rootfs (2.408.39) xenial; urgency=medium
* Backport support for building ubuntu-core images with ubuntu-image (using
IMAGEFORMAT=ubuntu-image).
* Decide what model assertion series to fetch depending on the suite. Use 16
for xenial and 18 for other series (bionic+). This enables core18 image
builds (LP: #1799736).

Bug description:
[Impact]
Ubuntu Core is an all-snap Ubuntu variant that we are building through
cdimage. In the past there was only one core series, 16, and all the
images we were building were based on that series. Thanks to that all
the support for building ubuntu-core images in livecd-rootfs through
ubuntu-image was only needed in later series, as all were build using
devel. Currently we have two different ubuntu-core image sets based of
different bases: core16 and core18 images. As a convention, we have
decided that cdimage (and or other components) will be building
ubuntu-core images based of the suite that the build is being run for.
Since core16 is based on xenial and core18 on bionic, we have decided
the following scheme:
* Suite: xenial -> ubuntu-core 16 image
* Suite: bionic or later -> ubuntu-core 18 image
For this to work, we need to have all the needed changes in xenial and
bionic. livecd-rootfs on xenial is missing all the ubuntu-image build-
enablement changes, so these need to be backported. Besides that, both
xenial and bionic need to get backports of the per-distro-series core-
series selection.
Without these fixes in xenial, no ubuntu-core 16 images can be built
anymore. This is needed in case we'd have need for any security-
vulnerability fix image re-releases.
[Test Case]
For xenial:
* On a xenial system install latest xenial-proposed livecd-rootfs
* Create a temporary directory and cd into it
* Copy the /usr/share/livecd-rootfs/live-build/auto directory into the
current directory
* sudo PROJECT=ubuntu-core SUITE=xenial ARCH=amd64 PROPOSED=0
IMAGEFORMAT="ubuntu-image" lb config
-> Make sure that the configured model assertion is for core16
* sudo PROJECT=ubuntu-core SUITE=xenial ARCH=amd64 PROPOSED=0
IMAGEFORMAT="ubuntu-image" lb build
-> Make sure the build runs and finishes correctly
* Boot test the newly created image with kvm
-> Make sure the image is still bootable
Also, since we are basically starting to use ubuntu-image with this
xenial upload of livecd-rootfs (which was in universe for this
series), we need to make sure the package is still installable with
just main enabled.
* On a clean chroot (without livecd-rootfs or any of its dependencies
installed)
* Modify sources.list to only have main enabled
* sudo apt update
* sudo apt install livecd-rootfs
-> Make sure the package and its dependencies install correctly
[Regression Potential]
As part of the backport only new code is added - code that is executed
in certain code paths only. Most regressions might appear in the
ubuntu-core image generation, which was not available for xenial. But
in case the code has been added in the wrong way, potentially this
might result in livecd-rootfs not being able to generate proper
classic images anymore. A run of lb config and lb build for a non
ubuntu-image project is recommended.
