Hello James, or anyone else affected, Accepted openvswitch into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/2.9.8-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 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- bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-bionic. 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. ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836713 Title: upgrade of openvswitch packages resets alternative binaries to auto To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/+bug/1836713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upgrading an install that exhibits this bug is a major trip-hazard, as the act of upgrading the package to the new version will call the broken prerm to execute, resulting in the -dpdk binary being disabled again.

This is a somewhat tricky issue as the alternative removal is done in the prerm script of the currently installed package version; so we can fix it for future updates, but the act of fixing it will cause any -dpdk based installations to revert back to the non-dpdk version of the binary. ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Also affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu Eoan) Importance: High Status: Triaged ** Also affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Eoan) Assignee: (unassigned) => James Page (james-page) ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Disco) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: openvswitch (Ubuntu Eoan) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836713 Title: upgrade of openvswitch packages resets alternative binaries to auto To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/1836713/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
