[Bug 2061214] Re: [SRU] Software Sources is not compatible with deb822
I have adjusted the test plan to say to diffoscope them, and run another diffoscope vs the software-properties-qt 0.99.48.1 and the packages are still the same, timestamps, versions and the obvious /usr/share/doc deduplication difference aside (as expected), so I am marking this as verified. ** Description changed: [ Impact ] Ubuntu 24.04 now uses deb822 to represent software sources for deb packages, instead of /etc/apt/sources.list. The complete rationale for this change can be found here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/spec-apt- deb822-sources-by-default/29333 software-properties has two graphical frontends for editing these software sources, one is GTK-based and the other is Qt-based. When the underlying change to deb822 sources was made, the GTK-based frontend and the DBus backend interface gained support. The original bug report shown below informed us of the lack of deb822 support in the Qt frontend, which results in a broken, non-functional interface when attempting to view or edit most values on the first two tabs. The fix for this is to implement a Qt dialog for deb822 sources that somewhat matches the existing GTK interface. [ Test Plan ] + For software-properties 0.99.49(.1): The package is the same as shipped in software-properties-qt 0.99.48.1 in the release pocket, the procedure below does not work for validation anymore. Just ensure it is the same, obvious metadata aside. Install software-properties-qt 0.99.48 or earlier. Reproducing the bug: - 1. From the menu, open Software Sources. Alternatively, run `sudo -E software-properties-qt` in a terminal. - 2. Observe that all four checkboxes on the Ubuntu Software tab (main, universe, restricted, and multiverse) are unchecked. - 3.

That being said, the following small edge cases exist: - - If you create a very large amount of rows, it infinitely expands the dialog without a scroll wheel. This is the same functionality as the GTK frontend. - - Error validation is not performed on the deb822 lines, they are simply written to the ubuntu.sources file. This is good as a starting point, but also relies on the appropriate update notifier handling these errors.

Actually, no need to actually release, since it's identical to the special binary package, right?

I guess we can still install it and see that it works correctly but it essentially amounts to double verification given it's the same code.

[Bug 2061214] Re: [SRU] Software Sources is not compatible with deb822
Do we really have a test plan for it? The original test plan no longer applies, and the code is exactly the same as we have in software- properties 0.99.48 + software-properties-qt 0.99.48.1 once-off. We don't have the original 0.99.48 to reproduce the bad case anymore... Maybe we should just diff the actual debs and see that they're the same? If we diffoscope all the binaries (replacing software-properties-qt with the 0.99.48.1 one that we published in the once-off that launchpad replaced the original binary with), we can easily see the code is the same, just versions changes, timestamps, and obviously the once-off -qt package did not have it's /usr/share/doc dedupped: --- python3-software-properties_0.99.48_all.deb +++ python3-software-properties_0.99.49_all.deb ├── file list │ @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ │ --rw-r--r-- 0004 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 debian-binary │ --rw-r--r-- 000 1398 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 control.tar.zst │ --rw-r--r-- 00028001 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 data.tar.zst │ +-rw-r--r-- 0004 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 debian-binary │ +-rw-r--r-- 000 1398 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 control.tar.zst │ +-rw-r--r-- 00027954 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 data.tar.zst ├── control.tar.zst │ ├── control.tar │ │ ├── file list │ │ │ @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./ │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 594 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./control │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 1685 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./md5sums │ │ │ --rwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0) 289 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./postinst │ │ │ --rwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0) 402 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./prerm │ │ │ +drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 ./ │ │ │ +-rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 594 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 ./control │ │ │ +-rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 1685 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 ./md5sums │ │ │ +-rwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0) 289 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 ./postinst │ │ │ +-rwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0) 402 2024-04-22 19:22:26.00 ./prerm │ │ ├── ./control │ │ │ @@ -1,10 +1,10 @@ │ │ │ Package: python3-software-properties │ │ │ Source: software-properties │ │ │ -Version: 0.99.48 │ │ │ +Version: 0.99.49 │ │ │ Architecture: all │ │ │ Maintainer: Michael Vogt │ │ │ Installed-Size: 129 │ │ │ Depends: gpg, iso-codes, lsb-release, python3, python3-apt (>= 2.7.1~), python3-gi, python3-launchpadlib, python3:any │ │ │ Recommends: unattended-upgrades │ │ │ Section: python │ │ │ Priority: optional │ │ ├── ./md5sums │ │ │ ├── ./md5sums │ │ │ │┄ Files differ ├── data.tar.zst │ ├── data.tar │ │ ├── file list │ │ │ @@ -1,27 +1,27 @@ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/lib/ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/lib/python3/ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ │ │ │ -drwxr-xr-x 0 root (0) root (0)0 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 3032 2023-02-14 15:19:56.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/AptAuth.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 2000 2023-02-14 15:19:56.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/CountryInformation.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 7450 2023-02-14 15:19:56.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/MirrorTest.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0)33207 2024-04-18 07:17:51.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 1416 2023-02-14 15:19:56.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/__init__.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 5698 2024-03-28 14:20:40.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/cloudarchive.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 2205 2024-03-28 14:20:40.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/distro.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r-- 0 root (0) root (0) 9521 2024-03-28 20:49:02.00 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py │ │ │ --rw-r--r--

The fix for this is to implement a Qt dialog for deb822 sources + that somewhat matches the existing GTK interface. + + [ Test Plan ] + + Install software-properties-qt 0.99.48 or earlier. + + Reproducing the bug: + 1. From the menu, open Software Sources. Alternatively, run `sudo -E software-properties-qt` in a terminal. + 2. Observe that all four checkboxes on the Ubuntu Software tab (main, universe, restricted, and multiverse) are unchecked. + 3. Move to the Other Software tab and observe that there are no items in the list. + + Upgrade to software-properties-qt 0.99.49. + + Intended functionality: + 1. From the menu, open Software Sources. Alternatively, run `sudo -E software-properties-qt` in a terminal. + 2. Observe that one or more checkboxes on the Ubuntu Software tab (representing main, universe, restricted, or multiverse) are checked. Toggle one or more of the checkboxes. + 3. Using a text editor of some kind (perhaps Vim), confirm that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources reflects your changes. + 4. Switch to the Other Software tab, there should be one item in the list. + 5. Select that item, then click Edit at the bottom of the dialog. Make a modification to every field on the screen, or a combination of fields you would like to test. All fields should work. + 6. Click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog to confirm the changes, then click Edit for that item again. The changes you made should be reflected (meaning, the changes were saved.) + 7. Using a text editor of some kind (perhaps Vim), confirm that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources reflects your changes. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + This is well-tested code. That being said, the following small edge cases exist: + - If you create a very large amount of rows, it infinitely expands the dialog without a scroll wheel. This is the same functionality as the GTK frontend. + - Error validation is not performed on the deb822 lines, they are simply written to the ubuntu.sources file. This is good as a starting point, but also relies on the appropriate update notifier handling these errors. This is the same functionality as the GTK frontend. + + In a future update, this functionality could be broken by one or more of the following underlying changes: + - Changes to the software-properties backend which are only implemented for the GTK frontend. + - Changes to the location or formatting of the ubuntu.sources file. + - Regressions in the Python bindings for Qt 5, which are rare but possible. + - Regressions in Python itself. + + [ Other Info ] + + Ubuntu Studio's live ISO and installed system are affected by this. Only Lubuntu's installed system is affected by this. + + [ Original Report ] + Upgrading Lubuntu Jammy to Lubuntu Noble using TUI results in "Software sources" not correctly updated after upgrade.
