The reason xen was mentioned is that many dom0's run 2.6.18 and many domU's run the dom0's kernel, so this issue is relevant to both dom0 as well as domU upgrades. -- tar/gnulib bug prevents bootstraping Lucid on Dapper, causes Lucid upgrade to abort on older linux kernels (e.g. in a chroot or Xen VM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Any status updates? How quickly might this get into SRU?

@Steve: I agree, i think this is the best solution, given how little time we have before release. How do distributions upgrades work? I just downloaded upgrade-manager- core and was greeted by a bunch of python scripts... which means I'm not gonna look through them. Does anyone know how this works? What is the backend in the upgrade? Will tar get pulled from SRU? If it tar gets pulled from the stable release, we have an issue, if it gets pulled from SRU, then we're in the clear. -- tar/gnulib bug prevents bootstraping Lucid on Dapper, causes Lucid upgrade to abort on older linux kernels (e.g. in a chroot or Xen VM) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 539814] Re: FFe: Sync tar 1.23-1 (main) from Debian squeeze (main)
Steve, If this is the case, one could make the claim, that Dapper servers will also have this problem as they should be supported until 2011 iirc? The stable kernel in Dapper is 2.6.15. On a side note this will affect most Xen and XenServer Server's (which almost all run 2.6.18) which imho is more than you think. These are also the systems where i first noticed this issue. I consider Xen to be a very popular platform for Ubuntu to run on. A lot of VPS hosters would be able to offer Lucid if this were fixed. Also a lot of VPS hosters do not allow the user to load a newer kernel in which case it is even more important that this is fixed. But I didn't quite understand, will this get rolled out into updates pretty quickly, so that debootstrap does work? AFAIK debootstrap will then function as soon as the tar package lands in updates, as it will use the tar package from updates for the installation. -- FFe: Sync tar 1.23-1 (main) from Debian squeeze (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Like i said, i'm just sure that I'm not the only planning to use debootstrap quite extensively, i would go as far as to say that this is my main install method. If this makes it in shortly after release, then thats fine as well. -- FFe: Sync tar 1.23-1 (main) from Debian squeeze (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 539814] Re: FFe: Sync tar 1.23-1 (main) from Debian squeeze (main)
Is there any chance that this will get fixed before the lucid release. I find this quite annoying as i have server machines running 2.6.18 (mostly rhel/centos) with which i want to use debootstrap to install lucid for chroot or for virtual machines. I really don't want to have to hack debootstrap to make it compatible with my 2.6.18 kernel. Would really appreciate any feedback. -- FFe: Sync tar 1.23-1 (main) from Debian squeeze (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
