[Bug 1974456] Re: regression: apt.postint fails if never previously configured
juliank - No. Our "overly complex" build must support environments without direct access to the ubuntu servers. Therefore we download all needed Ubuntu packages as a front-end step, putting them in an IBM- internal archive. At build time, reprepro is used to put them in to a local filesystem repo which then feeds debootstrap. The front-end step certainly downloads from focal-updates, always using apt-get download. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1974456 Title: regression: apt.postint fails if never previously configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1974456/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Gary, how do you invoke debootstrap so it uses packages from the the updates pocket? I wasn't able to with --extra-suites=focal-updates, but I might have missed something. But then I guess we should actually release that fix too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1974456 Title: regression: apt.postint fails if never previously configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1974456/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Everyone! Can confirm this resolves the issue on my end when bootstrapping latest ubuntu focal using mmdebstrap (0.4.1 from apt repo) and the proposed version of apt 2.0.9 (by adding focal-proposed to sources list) - bootstrapping now works fine again without any errors!

Hello David, or anyone else affected, Accepted apt into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/2.0.9 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- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. 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: apt (Ubuntu Focal) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1974456 Title: regression: apt.postint fails if never previously configured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1974456/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

P.S. I have worked around this in my build system (by creating an empty executable script at the location that apt.postinst is expecting before I call dpkg --configure) so I'm not worried.

@David I was able to reproduce this with mmdebstrap as it uses -updates pocket, but not with debootstrap as it only uses the release pockets. Which tool were you using to bootstrap your system?
