FYI, this is the kind of wart this issue is forcing down on me and all my users: https://github.com/nexB/extractcode/blob/aa5da29014ce4fbffca53c09689a2623e2b78196/src/extractcode/vmimage.py#L82

Is this the correct way: 1. As sudo, create the file /etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride with this content, devised by Kees Cook (@kees) in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725/comments/3 :: #!/bin/sh version="$1" # passing the kernel version is required [ -z "${version}" ] && exit 0 dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 0644 /boot/vmlinuz-${version} 2. Setup the exxecutable permissions:: sudo chmod +x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/statoverride And if yes, is this enough to create a package that adds this file? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1813662 Title: Cannot build VM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libguestfs/+bug/1813662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
