  Remove obsolete versioned dependency on initramfs-tools Edit

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  Up until artful, console-setup declares a versioned dependency on 
initramfs-tools. This was an Ubuntu-specific dependency only needed for 
upgrades, and the version referenced is ancient (ca. 2008). In artful and 
later, the dependency has now been removed.

  Since this is no longer relevant for upgrades and we would not
  otherwise have a dependency on initramfs-tools, we should drop this
  dependency to support building of images with initramfs-tools removed
  for systems that we know don't require an initramfs.

  [Test case]
  1. On a xenial default cloud image install, try to run 'sudo apt purge 
initramfs-tools'.
  2. Verify that this tries to remove console-setup, console-setup-linux, and 
kbd.
  3. Cancel the removal.
  4. Install console-setup from xenial-proposed.
  5. Run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools' again.
  6. Verify that console-setup, console-setup-linux, and kbd are not removed.
  7. Run 'sudo apt install --reinstall console-setup' and confirm that the 
package can be installed successfully without initramfs-tools installed.

  [Regression Potential]
  If a user needs an initramfs in order to mount their root device, and 
console-setup is the only package on their system which depends on 
initramfs-tools, it is possible that the user may remove initramfs-tools and 
render their system unbootable.

  This is unlikely because initramfs-tools is still part of the
  'minimal' seed and is therefore a dependency of ubuntu-minimal; and it
  remains a dependency of the generic kernel image.

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Before proceeding with releasing of this update, could someone re-run
the test case one more time? After the package idling in -proposed for
so long I think it might be unwise to publish it without checking if
changes in the archive after 200 days didn't invalidate and/or introduce
regressions, requiring a rebuild or a reupload. We can then publish to
-updates.

[Łukasz Zemczak]

What's the situation with console-setup right now? Should this upload be
left in -proposed? It's been already around very long in the
verification-failed state. Is this issue here still valid? I remember
seeing the plymouth --ping issue addressed and released.

Could anyone have a second look at this very old upload?

A functional regression that triggers on upgrade of the package, and which
causes a non-negligible number of users to have their package upgrade hang
instead of completing, should be addressed before the SRU is released.

I think we should be rolling back ubiquity, not rushing out console-
setup.

While I understand the impact of having console-setup potentially "hang"
the system on upgrade, this isn't something that happens systematically,
it's also not a regression introduced in 1.108ubuntu15.4, so what is the
net benefit in not releasing this SRU? Certainly people might still
upgrade to $some_version of console-setup and have a hang caused by
plymouth not responding correctly to plymouth --ping?

I don't know that console-setup should be verification-fail because of
that. There's an issue, sure; a regression, maybe; but neither were
introduced by this particular upload.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1721626] Re: Remove obsolete versioned dependency on initramfs-tools Edit

[Eric Desrochers]

The retention of console-setup in xenial-proposed is causing a side-effect on 
ubiquity [2.21.63.5] installation which depend specifically on that 
1.108ubuntu15.4 version[1].
IMHO ubiquity should have been put on hold as well to make sure console-setup 
and ubiquity were release at the same time.

If the hang cannot be fix soon, meaning that console-setup will stay in 
-proposed for a while or maybe eventually drop ? 
Maybe we should consider rolling back ubiquity to use console-setup 
1.108ubuntu15.3 ? to at least unblock the dependencies created by last 
console-setup change[2]

  for systems that we know don't require an initramfs.

  [Test case]
  1. On a xenial default cloud image install, try to run 'sudo apt purge 
initramfs-tools'.
  2. Verify that this tries to remove console-setup, console-setup-linux, and 
kbd.
  3. Cancel the removal.
  4. Install console-setup from xenial-proposed.
  5. Run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools' again.
  6. Verify that console-setup, console-setup-linux, and kbd are not removed.
  7. Run 'sudo apt install --reinstall console-setup' and confirm that the 
package can be installed successfully without initramfs-tools installed.

  [Regression Potential]
  If a user needs an initramfs in order to mount their root device, and 
console-setup is the only package on their system which depends on 
initramfs-tools, it is possible that the user may remove initramfs-tools and 
render their system unbootable.

  This is unlikely because initramfs-tools is still part of the
  'minimal' seed and is therefore a dependency of ubuntu-minimal; and it
  remains a dependency of the generic kernel image.

It's fine to hold this in -proposed for right now.

Given that we have a recent spate of reports about maintainer scripts
hanging on 'plymouth --ping' due to plymouthd having hung, and console-setup 
calls plymouth --ping in its postinst, I think this is not a bug in
console-setup, and therefore also not a regression.  However, since any
upgrade of console-setup is going to tickle the bug for affected users, I
think we need to resolve the plymouth problem first before pushing this SRU
out.

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  Up until artful, console-setup declares a versioned dependency on 
initramfs-tools. This was an Ubuntu-specific dependency only needed for 
upgrades, and the version referenced is ancient (ca. 2008). In artful and 
later, the dependency has now been removed.

  Since this is no longer relevant for upgrades and we would not
  otherwise have a dependency on initramfs-tools, we should drop this
  dependency to support building of images with initramfs-tools removed
  for systems that we know don't require an initramfs.

I've run through this test case and confirmed console-setup works
without initramfs-tools.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1721626] Re: Remove obsolete versioned dependency on initramfs-tools Edit

[Brian Murray]

Hello Steve, or anyone else affected,

Accepted console-setup into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-
setup/1.108ubuntu15.4 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 and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: console-setup (Ubuntu Xenial)
