Bug description:
[Impact]
Installations that really succeeded would then fail because APT could not
immediately configure a package. Which is a pointless way to fail at that
point, because everything did work out anyway.
We have two changes that help address this:
* The first one stops immediately configuring multi-arch siblings
(e.g. libc6:i386 when it's configuring libc6:amd64). This was not
necessary, and caused all the libc6:i386 failures here.
* The second change sort of also supersedes the first one: It just
ignores any errors from immediate configuration, relying on the fact
that it's checked and rectified at a later point if there are
unconfigured packages (which is what made all those failures happen
spuriously after having successfully installed everything).
[Test case]
We have one test case in EIPP format in the Debian bug 973305 which was only
helped by the second change, not the first one. Run /usr/lib/apt/planners <
eipp.log and check there are no errors.
TODO: It's unclear if the APT from proposed installed in the live
session will fix the installer, needs investigation, but would make a
useful test case.
[Regression potential]
It's imaginable that we missed something somewhere and some path that checked
for a set error doesn't check it anymore, and we report success when we hit an
error, but it seems unlikely.
Behavior of --simulate changes. This used to fail before as well, and
will now only produce a warning. We don't believe that is a reason of
concern.
[Groovy SRU]
The groovy SRU is a sync of the 2.1.11 micro release from Debian unstable
which also incorporates changes to the documentation: A typo fix, replacing
focal with groovy in examples, and minor Dutch manual pages translation updates.
We do not have test cases for the documentation changes, and we do not
consider there to be a huge regression potential. As long as they
build, they should be readable - maybe some words are wrong in the
translation, who knows.
[Original bug report]
Test Case
1. Install Ubuntu Desktop on hardware with an nVidia card and select to
install 3rd party drivers
2. Proceed with installation
