I'm installing via PXEBoot/kickstart, and have an unpacked xenial- alternate-amd64.iso image on a separate server (admin- server.example.com), which is initially being used for the various packages. I'm using the version from 31st May 2016, size 774897664.
I've attached /var/log/syslog from the installation (with IP addresses and domain names obfuscated). Looking at this now, it does appear that something goes wrong earlier (I'm not used to looking at installation logs), but the util-linux error comes in at line 2010: insserv rejected the script header. It may be that there's a more fundamental problem with my set-up, but it seemed to correspond fairly well to the problem in the bug report linked to above. ** Attachment added: "syslog.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1588287/+attachment/4678127/+files/syslog.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588287 Title: util-linux breaks xenial installation Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in util-linux source package in Trusty: Incomplete Status in util-linux package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Attempting to install xenial from an alternate install image xenial- alternate-amd64.iso triggered the bug reported at: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823665 and fixed by the patch at: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/pkg-util- linux.git/commit/?id=49a9f9ff0cdb64c02b12c2a00af30472305bc377 The patch was made on util-linux-2.28-2 but can be applied easily to 2.27.1-6ubuntu3 as found in xenial, so I back-ported the patch onto my local copy of the iso and can confirm that the installation got past the installation of util-linux.
