Public bug reported: While trying to find a workaround for bug 1921862, we tried building a rootfs of Ubuntu Desktop from a PPA that contains a new version of ubiquity and zsys in focal.
Current version in the archive: ubiquity | 20.04.15 | focal ubiquity | 20.04.15.11 | focal-updates zsys | 0.4.5 | focal zsys | 0.4.8 | focal-updates Versions in the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~jibel/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages) ubiquity | 20.04.15.12~ppa3 zsys | 0.4.8ubuntu1ppa1 The results of the builds are: Without the PPA (same than an Ubuntu Desktop build without proposed) https://launchpad.net/~jibel/+livefs/ubuntu/focal/ubuntu-archive/+build/276788 With the PPA https://launchpad.net/~jibel/+livefs/ubuntu/focal/ubuntu-archive/+build/276827 The builds have been triggered with the API, the only difference is the metadata_override which contains the PPA: In [67]: livefs2.requestBuild(archive = archive, distro_arch_series = das, metadata_override= {'project': 'ubuntu'}, pocket='Updates') Out[67]: <livefs_build at https://api.launchpad.net/devel/~jibel/+livefs/ubuntu/focal/ubuntu-archive/+build/276788> In [68]: livefs2.requestBuild(archive = archive, distro_arch_series = das, metadata_override= {'project': 'ubuntu', 'extra_ppas' : ['jibel/ppa']}, pocket='Updates') Out[68]: <livefs_build at https://api.launchpad.net/devel/~jibel/+livefs/ubuntu/focal/ubuntu-archive/+build/276827> (archive is the primary archive) If you compare the 2 builds ubiquity and zsys and in the first build but not the second. ** Affects: livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929201 Title: Packages in PPA are not installed if version higher than in a release pocket To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/+bug/1929201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
