Hello Nick, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/249.11-0ubuntu3.6 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-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. 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.

Title:
  Please backport systemd-hwdb patches to support src:systemd-hwe tests

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  We plan to SRU src:systemd-hwe to Jammy[1] to provide an easier way to
  SRU HWE hwdb rules to Ubuntu. The src:systemd-hwe package contains a
  test script[2] to ensure that no redundant hwdb rules are added to the
  package, i.e. rules that are already present in src:systemd. This test
  requires patches to implement --root flag support for the `systemd-
  hwdb query` command[3]. These patches are already present in kinetic.

  Without these patches in Jammy, src:systemd-hwe would have to disable
  these tests, which are important to maintaining HWE hwdb rules in
  Ubuntu.

  [Test plan]

  * Create a new directory for testing hwdb rule queries:

  $ mkdir -p fakeroot/etc/udev/hdwb.d

  * Add a new .hwdb file to override an existing rule. For example, I
  chose to override the last entry from
  /lib/udev/hdwb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb:

  $ tail -2 /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb > 
fakeroot/etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
  $ sed -i 's/chromebook/reserved/g' fakeroot/etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb 
  $ cat fakeroot/etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb 
  evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnAcer*:pnPeppy:*
   XKB_FIXED_MODEL=reserved

  * Create the hwdb.bin within fakeroot:

  $ systemd-hwdb update --root fakeroot
  $ ls fakeroot/etc/udev/hwdb.bin 
  fakeroot/etc/udev/hwdb.bin

  * Finally, attempt to query this new hwdb.bin using systemd-hwdb
  query. On an unpatched system, we will see results from the system's
  hwdb.bin:

  $ systemd-hwdb query --root fakeroot 
evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnAcer*:pnPeppy:* | grep XKB_FIXED_MODEL
  XKB_FIXED_MODEL=chromebook

  ...and on a patched system we should see the overridden rule:

  $ systemd-hwdb query --root fakeroot 
evdev:atkbd:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnAcer*:pnPeppy:* | grep XKB_FIXED_MODEL
  XKB_FIXED_MODEL=reserved 

  [Where problems could occur]
  The patches add support for the --root flag when calling systemd-hwdb query, 
thus changing the behavior of this command (previously, query would always load 
the system's hwdb.bin). It is unlikely that existing scripts try to use the 
--root flag with `systemd-hwdb query`, but if they did, this is where we would 
see problems.
