Public bug reported: Hi, I've started to look into what we considered a false positive in component mismatches
o esmtp: esmtp-run [Reverse-Depends: logcheck (MAIN)] The logcheck package has: Depends: ... default-mta | mail-transport-agent ... default-mta as well as mail-transport-agent are purely virtual Postfix is in main and would provide both Package: postfix ... Provides: default-mta, mail-transport-agent But postfix does not exist on i386. Due to that when germinating all arches i386 will do this: But from the log of germinate: 26 ? Unknown dependency default-mta by logcheck 27 * Chose esmtp-run out of mail-transport-agent to satisfy logcheck 28 ? Unknown dependency esmtp by esmtp-run 29 * Chose mail-transport-agent to satisfy logcheck But while the non-existance of postfix@i386 is the reason it can't find default-mta it is unclear why it picks esmtp-run for mail-transport-agent as there would be lsb-invalid-mta that is in main even on i386. This can be reproduced with the simpler seeds I created: https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/+ref/debug-esmtp-listing https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform/+ref/debug-esmtp-listing Those only seed logcheck and we can see the issue. I'd have expected that ordering isn't important, but I've found that ensuring to have lsb-invalid-mta show up before logcheck will avoid the issue. Not sure how to proceed (see also the IRC discussion we had today) is this a bug that could be improved in germinate or am I looking the wrong way with this. ** Affects: germinate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - virtual-packages do not pick a seeded package + virtual-packages do not pick a seeded package (ordering dependent) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1895011 Title: virtual-packages do not pick a seeded package (ordering dependent) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/germinate/+bug/1895011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
