** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + * When dropping pollinate (bug 2158262) it seemed no other dependencies + would be affected, but image builds can work in mysterious ways + and the effects to ubuntu-meta in active releases was not fully + predicted by me (sorry). Due to that we cleaned up curl (bug 2162040) + and now xxd (this bug) which should complete this story. + + * To be clear, we do not expect xxd to be important and needed - going + forward in stonking it is and stays dropped. But this is an active release, + and we do not want to regress people that got used to rely on it being + present. So let it be added back to be as close as possible with bug + 2158262 only having done exactly what it meant to do + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Check the build of ubuntu-meta, verify that xxd got added to + the dependencies of the different server related meta packages + cloud-minimal, server, server-minimal, server-raspi + + * Check if a system can upgrade to the new meta package in proposed + and the only change (if any, because without auto-remove when starting + on older systems it would not even be gone yet) does only bring in xxd. + Check if no other accidentally gets added/removed to the tree + unintentionally. + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * Dependencies on the ubuntu-meta packages: One would think of + conflicting packages, unintended extra things being pulled in + or dropped to be the most likely areas of potential regression. + + [ Other Info ] + + * n/a + + -- original report -- + # description of the problem <provide a description that sufficiently describes the problem you are facing> This report is similar to the one filed when curl was removed from the ubuntu-minimal:26.04 images: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud- images/+bug/2162040 xxd was previously present in and is now missing from ubuntu- minimal:26.04 images at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/ # expected functionality <outline the behavior that is expected from the image> For the same reasoning that curl was re-introduced, which was that users might have grown to expect it as a pre-installed package, xxd should be considered to be brought back. # reproduction steps <a minimal reproducer for the bug described above> lxc launch ubuntu-minimal-daily:26.04 testimage lxc exec testimage -- xxd --help # image type affected (i.e. images from cloud-images.ubuntu.com, specific cloud image) <a specific image that is included. for cloud-images.ubuntu.com please reference the artifact you are using. for clouds include the product, region, and image id (e.g. for AWS you would provide an AMI ID) lxc image show 1b2891428e1c auto_update: true properties: - architecture: amd64 - description: ubuntu 26.04 LTS (minimal daily) - label: minimal daily - os: ubuntu - release: resolute - serial: "20260821" - type: squashfs - version: "26.04" + architecture: amd64 + description: ubuntu 26.04 LTS (minimal daily) + label: minimal daily + os: ubuntu + release: resolute + serial: "20260821" + type: squashfs + version: "26.04" public: false expires_at: 2031-05-29T00:00:00Z profiles: - default
