I thought I'd share a blow-by-blow account this time.

These were all correct triaging activity by previous triagers, and so
there was no further triage to do. I verified them this time, but
usually I just ignore the ones marked '+' as they have by definition had
all their activity seen by a triager.

> LP: #1941842 - (Expired)        [mysql-8.0]         - package

Correctly expired. Nothing to do unless the reporter provides more
information, as has already been explained by the previous triager.

> LP: #1942048 - (Expired)        [rpcbind]           - package rpcbind 
> 0.2.3-0.2ubuntu0.16.04.1 failed to install/…

Correctly expired. Nothing to do unless the reporter provides more
information, as has already been explained by the previous triager.

I'm so certain this is a user who has broken their system by deleting
things that I used my "not a bug - invalid" template and set it straight
to Invalid, but also subscribed myself just in case as I do when I do
this.

> LP: #1949287 - (New)            [blinker]           - Sync blinker

This is a sync request from a community member. I'm treating as a "patch
on a plate" and so tagged it server-next. It is also correctly in the
sponsorship queue. I did wonder what "blinker" was and why it is in main
with a server team subscription. Looks like it comes in via
python3-oauthlib which is used by launchpadlib and cloud-init amongst
others.

I might look into reviewing and sponsoring this as it shouldn't take
long, but for right now, triage stops at "server-next".

> LP: #1949288 - (New)            [mysql-8.0]         - package 
> mysql-server-8.0 8.0.27-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 failed to …

/etc/mysql/my.cnf appears to have recursive symlinks. I used my "local
misconfiguration -> Incomplete" template and renamed the bug.

> LP: #1949298 - (New)            [apache2]           - package apache2 
> 2.4.41-4ubuntu3.8 failed to install/upgrade…

The reporter admits themselves that they broke their system and how, so
I used my "not a bug - invalid" template, subscribed myself, but
otherwise left it. This is an example of where apport just assumes that
a maintainer script failure is a bug and encourages the user to file a
bug report, but this assumption is wrong for server packages. It's
damaging because the user might now expect to receive help, but they're
far better off getting help from actual community support sources (where
there are many willing helpers) instead of bug triagers (where there are
very few helpers with limited time). My template hopefully sends them
somewhere where they can get better help.

> LP: #1868127 - (Fix Committed)  [openvpn]           - [SRU] OpenVPN will not 
> reload due to misconfigured .service…

I went down a rabbit hole on this one. The bug was never marked Fix
Released for Focal because it was removed from -proposed but errantly
never got copied to -updates. However the subsequent .2 security update
included the patch, and the current .3 security update still contains
the patch, so it is actually fixed in Focal and so I marked it Fix
Released with a comment.

LP: #1913851 - (Triaged)        [samba]             - pam_winbind should reject 
disabled users

Previously triaged by a team member. It's a valid bug but requires
upstream work. It was in the backlog, but I don't think we'd ever do it
in Ubuntu even with infinite time as it is currently intended upstream
behaviour, so I removed it from the backlog. My thinking is that there
isn't anything actionable for Ubuntu here.

LP: #1908638 - (Triaged)        [libpam-mount]      - mounts to polydirs not 
working

Previously triaged by a team member. I have a similar opinion on this
one. It's valid, but is an upstream behaviour issue, and I'm not sure
we'd agree to carry an Ubuntu delta even if we spent time on this low
priority issue. Therefore it's not appropriate for our backlog, so I
removed it. Again, I don't think there's any action to be taken in
Ubuntu here.
