15:14 <bdmurray> I think that's everyone slangasek
15:15 <bdmurray> chiluk: Did your question get answered?
15:15 <chiluk> bdmurray: not really.. but I think rbasak is taking point on that one.
15:16 <slangasek> doko: you dropped the python-imaging package, and it has revdeps
15:16 <doko> ahh, that one. I'll have a look
15:16 <slangasek> Any questions over status?
15:16 <chiluk> no one is actually assigned to any of the tracks in lp 1700373
15:16 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1700373 in intel-microcode (Ubuntu Yakkety) "intel-microcode is out of date, version 20170511 fixes errata on 6th and 7th generation platforms" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1700373
15:17 <xnox> chiluk, would you like to prepare sru for the other series?
15:17 <chiluk> Yeah I can do that.
15:17 <slangasek> tdaitx: any fixes for those bugs in need of sponsorship?
15:17 <xnox> chiluk, cool.
15:17 <chiluk> although I feel like i've missed some of the conversation xnox.
15:18 <tdaitx> slangasek, no, might need for libcommons-lang-java soon (as soon as the reverse dependencies are all re-build)
15:18 <chiluk> xnox... we need to get it fixed at least in Xenial imho.... Trusty is a different beast altogether, but probably should get it as well.
15:19 <slangasek> tdaitx: ok
15:20 <slangasek> no other questions?
15:22 <slangasek> [TOPIC] Bug triage
15:22 <chiluk> I'm good...
15:22 <slangasek> [LINK] http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-aa-incoming-bug-tasks.html#foundations-bugs
15:22 <bdmurray> doko: Do you have any plans to SRU the fix for bug 1682934?
15:22 <ubottu> bug 1682934 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "python3 in /usr/local/bin can cause python3 packages to fail to install" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1682934
15:23 <xnox> chiluk, yeah, so zesty microcode is in proposed. yakkety well, it may go eol soon enough, no?! but xenial is good.
15:23 <doko> bdmurray: hmm, I didn't. do you want to see it there?
15:23 <chiluk> xnox by xenial is good.. you mean that we should put it in xenial correct?
15:23 <xnox> chiluk, trusty - microcode was in multiverse, not restricted. and it's very out of date, i do not think we should be updating it.
15:24 <xnox> chiluk, as e.g. that microcode will break e.g. running .0 xenial containers / chroots
15:24 <bdmurray> doko: I think so since it is causing upgrade failures.
15:24 <chiluk> I'm in agreement with you about trusty... I think..
15:24 <xnox> due to lock ellision bug.
15:25 <chiluk> xnox.. i'm not privy to that bug.
15:26 <chiluk> So let me make sure I understand this... a trusty host running xenial containers or chroots could potentially load the new microcode from the container due to a lock ellision bug?
15:26 <bdmurray> With bug 1646739 it looks to me like it might be the issue where the debconf prompt is never presented.
15:26 <ubottu> bug 1646739 in update-manager (Ubuntu) ""Use of uninitialized value" in debconf via update-manager" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1646739
15:27 <bdmurray> I feel like there are a lot of duplicates of gnome-software not supporting debconf dialogs buried in LP.
15:27 <slangasek> well, update-manager vs. gnome-software so different package
15:27 <slangasek> update-manager should add the Depends on libfoo-perl
15:28 <xnox> chiluk, no
15:28 <xnox> chiluk, false
15:28 <bdmurray> Unfortunately, afaict there isn't a great way to figure out if it is update-manager or gnome-software calling aptdaemon.
15:28 <slangasek> I think there is a bug open about that, bdmurray ?
15:28 <bdmurray> slangasek: Did you see chttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1646739/comments/21
15:28 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1646739 in update-manager (Ubuntu) ""Use of uninitialized value" in debconf via update-manager" [Critical,Confirmed]
15:30 <slangasek> bdmurray: right, but previously both update-manager and gnome-software had the bug, so we should make sure it's fixed in the packaging for both and then maybe mark all the rest of the existing bugs as duplicates of one or the other (at random)?
15:30 <slangasek> and then if we get new bugs, that tells us something else
15:32 <bdmurray> slangasek: Part of the issue is that we don't know which version of u-m or g-s was in use with the given logs.
15:32 <slangasek> right
15:33 <slangasek> bdmurray: if we fix the update-manager deps, can we track error rates to see if it tapers off as people upgrade to the SRU?
15:34 <bdmurray> track the rate of errors of package install failures where $reply is uninitialized?
15:34 <slangasek> bdmurray: also, should we log a bug that aptdaemon should have something in its protocol that asks the client to identify itself, so it can be logged? :/
15:34 <slangasek> bdmurray: yeah
15:35 <bdmurray> slangasek: yes something with aptdaemon needs to change and maybe RelatedPackageVersions should include g-s and u-m
15:35 <slangasek> bdmurray: there's also the other bug, where if you close the frontend GUI and aptdaemon is still running, the other end of the debconf socket is disconnected and things will break
15:35 <slangasek> bdmurray: right
15:36 <bdmurray> slangasek: What is the update-manager dep you are referring to?
15:37 <slangasek> bdmurray: update-manager should depend on libgtk2-perl, independently of gnome-software and software-properties-gtk depending on it
15:37 <bdmurray> ack
15:39 <slangasek> bdmurray: anything else on incoming bugs?
15:40 <bdmurray> slangasek: Not on incoming, but I could use some assistance with bug 1690980.
