15:12 bug 1834226 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "update-notifier doesn't respect "automatically check for updates: Never"" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1834226 15:12 not that I know 15:12 I don't think we did 15:12 But we should definitely investigate this 15:14 agreed 15:14 if there is disagreement about what the UX here should be, we will probably want to involve the design team 15:14 but based on the bug history it looks like the current behavior in 19.04 is not what's expected 15:15 targeting, carding 15:15 moving on then 15:16 the initramfs-tools one is still incomplete 15:16 ok, skip then? 15:16 yeah, bug 1396379 15:16 bug 1396379 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "installer uses first EFI system partition found even when directed otherwise" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1396379 15:17 fwiw I think there had been some discussion of that bug on #ubuntu-release at the time w/ infinity, xnox, and tsimonq2; but it's not documented in the bug, so 15:17 at what time? 15:17 when the bug was filed and xnox added his comment marking it incomplete 15:18 that was re: the initramfs-tools bug, not the ubiquity bug 15:18 why has this 5yo bug been escalated now? 15:18 comment #29 I believe 15:18 I don't know who Tom Reynolds is 15:19 I think we should decline this one 15:20 +1 - since sure, it's a bug, but it doesn't seem like a high-impact one 15:20 comment #24 somebody says they bricked their laptop? 15:21 I think this is largely user error, and perhaps things could be made clearer but I don't think ubiquity is fundamentally broken here when multiple ESPs are present 15:21 bdmurray: with no other context we don't know what "bricked" actually means or why the user thinks this bug is their bug 15:22 ack 15:23 Do you want to comment on the bug / tag it rls-ee-notfixing? 15:24 I've tagged it 15:24 apt-xapian-index is in universe for most releases... 15:24 bug 1612948 15:24 bug 1612948 in apt-xapian-index (Ubuntu) "axi-cache conversion to python3 broke the script" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1612948 15:24 seb128 tagged the bug though 15:25 doesn't mean it's Foundations' responsibility to work it 15:25 because universe 15:25 skip? 15:25 skip not decline? 15:25 (and I'll let seb128 know it's not Foundations) 15:25 well someone else could commit to doing the work 15:26 actually, good point, since -incoming is only for Canonical teams 15:26 yeah, decline then 15:26 Is desktop subscribed to the package too? 15:26 Nope, okay I will decline it 15:26 the next is a ftbfs so card it 15:27 I will 15:28 actually it sounds like the ftbfs is fixed so I'll follow up on the bug state 15:29 bug 1835809 is assigned to rbalint already, should it have a card? 15:29 bug 1835809 in systemd (Ubuntu) "AMD Ryzen 3000 series fails to boot" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1835809 15:30 he mentioned that one in his status, I guess it's already uploaded and in -proposed 15:30 sil2100: you were going to look at bug 1833758 iirc 15:30 bug 1833758 in lvm2 (Ubuntu) "lvm2: vgcfgbackup in postinst takes several minutes" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1833758 15:30 did we skip LP: #1836064? 15:30 Launchpad bug 1836064 in glibc (Ubuntu) "glibc needs an update for linux-5.2 kernel headers (alpha)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1836064 15:30 ah that might be the other end of the previous cross-build bug? 15:30 vorlon: Oh, I think I did skip it. 15:31 oh, this is for alpha not powerpc, so a different bug 15:31 and evidently not fixed 15:31 so yes, that's another ftbfs, let's card it 15:31 (I will) 15:32 bdmurray: yes, but then I noticed you already checked what needed checking, right? 15:33 sil2100: my vague note says "will see if image building is affected" 15:33 bdmurray: ok, so I can still check that, guess I missed that one 15:33 Will do that this week 15:34 sil2100: okay, thanks 15:34 So now we are in undecided territory 15:34 bug 1830044 15:34 bug 1830044 in glibc (Ubuntu) "glibc 2.29-0ubuntu2 ADT test failure with linux 5.2.0-0.1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1830044 15:35 That seems High correct? 15:35 Is that the kernel bug affecting glibc that we were talking about 2 weeks ago? 15:35 I mean, I remember some kernel bug affecting glibc thingy being discussed recently 15:35 It was reported on 5/22 so maybe 15:36 may or may not be the same one, but it's surely resolved, the glibc in -proposed has passing autopkgtests 15:37 So High and card it? 15:37 I don't think it should be carded 15:37 it's fixed in proposed 15:37 I guess it's just a matter of getting glibc released 15:37 Since it's the previous one that's failing 15:38 Ah, got it. 15:38 Guess Adam's working on getting it migrating? 15:38 don't know if he is, but I have been 15:38 Moving on to bug 1835660. Its super vague but seemed important so I tagged it. 15:38 bug 1835660 in initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) "initramfs unpacking failed" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1835660 15:39 doko: why did you mark LP: #1830044 rls-ee-incoming, given that the fixed glibc was already in -proposed? 15:39 Launchpad bug 1830044 in glibc (Ubuntu) "glibc 2.29-0ubuntu2 ADT test failure with linux 5.2.0-0.1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1830044 15:40 not much detail in that bug 15:40 Is there any follow up that should be done on the unpacking failed bug? 15:40 anyone have a booted eoan that they can check to see if this message shows on boot for them? 15:41 I guess it doesn't cause boot to fail, right? 15:41 right, but we don't want junk messages showing on the console at boot 15:43 reassigning to linux 15:43 Okay. Then seb128 reminded me of a patch in bug 1551623 15:43 bug 1551623 in gconf (Ubuntu) "[SRU] package gconf2 3.2.6-3ubuntu6 failed to install/upgrade: dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1551623 15:44 is gconf a foundations package? 15:45 vorlon, see the last comment 15:45 seb128: which is an observation about why the patch might be unnecessary when using newer dpkg 15:46 vorlon, I asked bdmurray about whether we should/could consider SRUing that dpkg patch instead 15:46 does that imply desktop team is declining to apply the patch in this bug to gconf and wants Foundations to SRU dpkg instead? 15:46 we would like the dpkg patch to be applied 15:46 I don't see a dpkg patch that's been isolated in that log 15:46 it doesn't imply we nacl the gconf fix 15:46 but bdmurray nacked the sponsoring request because the patch isn't in debian 15:47 and it's not in debian because they EDONTCARE because they fixed dpkg 15:47 I didn't nack it, I asked a question about it. 15:47 https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=b5c50b3c6 15:47 I guess? 15:48 and https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=7f43bf5 15:49 ok, so someone should file a bug against dpkg with this context 15:49 k 15:49 thx 15:49 will do that for next week :) 15:49 seb128: thanks - probably target the bug directly to xenial/bionic and flag us the bug # so we get it on our trello 15:50 #topic Release incoming bugs (bionic) 15:50 disco? 15:50 #link http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-incoming-bug-tasks.html#foundations-bugs 15:50 yeah, disco too 15:51 and the bug here is the one we just declined 15:51 * vorlon nods 15:51 because its in universe 15:51 Should we unsubscribe from the package now? 15:51 what did we decide wrt packages that are in main only in releases that are in ESM now? 15:52 I think Foundations is no longer responsible for those; Security Team is responsible for ESM 15:52 I don't think we did decide about ESM 15:52 I propose that we should unsubscribe if they're only in main for <= trusty 15:53 bdmurray: do you want an action for this? :) 15:53 (or a card?) 15:53 vorlon: for unsubscribing from the package or something more? 15:53 for unsubscribing from all packages that are only in main for <= trusty 15:54 vorlon, bdmurray, bug filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/1836225 15:54 Launchpad bug 1836225 in dpkg (Ubuntu) "SRUing the dpkg trigger improvements to bionic" [Undecided,New] 15:54 a card as I'm taking off this afternoon and tomorow and might forget stuff 15:54 ok 15:54 I filed a bug for thatearlier 15:54 juliank: for dpkg? 15:54 Or reused bdmurray's bug 15:54 yes, for dpkg 15:54 It already has a card 15:55 juliank, ah, sorry, I didn't see it in the recent dpkg ones, feel free to mark it as dup then 15:55 I also have the list of commits from guillem I have to cherry-pick :) 15:55 bug 1828639 has dpkg tasks 15:55 bug 1828639 in dpkg (Ubuntu Eoan) "package libvlc-bin 3.0.6-1 failed to install/upgrade: 90.8592:triggers looping, abandoned" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1828639 15:55 yeah, that's it 15:55 isn't it fixed for Eoan now though? 15:56 It's certainly in proposed 15:56 FWIW, this is the card: https://trello.com/c/nECzoqs2/2039-package-menu-2147ubuntu3-failed-to-install-upgrade-triggers-looping-abandoned 15:56 We'd found that already 15:57 Planned uploading that soon, was waiting for infinity to do eoan, which has been done now 15:57 juliank: so you are SRUing that? 15:57 I planned on doing that, yes 15:57 ok 15:57 juliank: that should fix many? all? trigger looping issues 15:57 bdmurray: all AFAIUI 15:58 so a bug scrub may be in order 15:58 #topic Team proposed-migration report 15:58 #link http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses_by_team.html#foundations-bugs 15:59 I guess we have to go quick, 1 minute left :P 15:59 a lot of ppc64el backlog there 15:59 which explains most of glibc 16:00 sphinx was a non-Foundations upload, but it's not clear if oSoMoN is following up 16:00 I'll ping him 16:00 vorlon, I was handling the sphinx one 16:00 waveform: oh ok 16:00 sorry - slipped under the radar this week with pi4 and u-boot filling my head! 16:00 python-service-identity 16:01 was anyone working on this? it was an autosync 16:02 who wants to volunteer to take python-service-identity? 16:02 vorlon, waveform, sphinx was https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.7/+bug/1834236 afaik 16:02 Launchpad bug 1834236 in python3.7 (Ubuntu) "codecs.open(errors='strict') doesn't fail on invalid encoding with python3.7.4 RC1" [High,Fix released] 16:02 (unless we have a new one) 16:03 let's see, i retried the build 16:03 python-reportlab: the autopkgtests don't fail in Debian, I've retried them now and will follow through 16:04 python-setuptools: reprotest/i386 is a progression (or flaky test) rather than a regression, we can sort that out 16:04 but libcloud/armhf looks like a real regression 16:05 anyone want to dig into that? 16:05 * vorlon tries a --no-proposed autopkgtest retry 16:06 put your hand up if you want to claim it; meanwhile, moving on 16:06 debian-installer needs an update for linux 5.2 16:06 I'll check w/ infinity on that 16:06 glib2.0, I think the Desktop Team is managing that one 16:06 and then we're done 16:07 #topic Chair selection for next meeting 16:07 who should we nominate that isn't here to object? 16:07 doko! 16:07 He'll be at DebCamp 16:07 I'm off next Thu, Fri 16:08 anyone else who hasn't had a turn lately? 16:09 Should we keep a list of this 16:09 * vorlon shrugs :) 16:09 I'm not keeping the list :) 16:09 We could grep the backlog 16:09 tdaitx: you want to chair next? 16:09 vorlon: yeah 16:09 Sounds sensible 16:09 #agreed tdaitx to chair next 16:10 #topic AOB 16:10 anything else? 16:10 Again, to make sure it sticks: I'm off next Thu, Fri 16:10 * vorlon nods 16:10 Also DebConf after that 16:10 I'm out this afternoon and tomorrow 16:11 #endmeeting
