[Bug 1569400] Re: mk-sbuild fails with cp: /etc/localtime... are the same file

[Luke Faraone]

Prior to installing this update on a system with the timezone set to
UTC, my attempts to create an ``unstable`` schroot ended with:

I: Base system installed successfully.
cp: '/etc/localtime' and '/var/lib/schroot/chroots/sid-amd64/etc/localtime' are 
the same file

After installing the proposed update, I was able to successfully create
such a schroot using ``mk-sbuild``.

Hello Robie, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-dev-tools into xenial-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-
tools/0.155ubuntu2 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 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 to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  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!

[Bug 1569400] Re: mk-sbuild fails with cp: /etc/localtime... are the same file

[Steve Langasek]

** Description changed:

+ [SRU Justification]
+ The mk-sbuild command fails to completely set up its schroot environment if 
/etc/localtime is a symlink, due to wrong 'cp' options.  Since /etc/localtime 
is a symlink /by default/, this makes the tool unusable for most users in 
xenial.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 1. Verify that /etc/localtime is a symlink on your system.
+ 2. Install ubuntu-dev-tools.
+ 3. Run 'mk-sbuild yakkety'.  When prompted to edit ~/.sbuildrc, you can 
accept the defaults.
+ 4. Run 'sg sbuild' to make sure you are in the 'sbuild' group in case this is 
newly added.
+ 5. Run 'mk-sbuild yakkety' again.  Verify that the command output ends with 
the line:
+ cp: '/etc/localtime' and 
'/var/lib/schroot/chroots/yakkety-amd64/etc/localtime' are the same file.
+ 6. Run 'echo $?' to verify that the return value of mk-sbuild is 1.
+ 7. Install ubuntu-dev-tools from xenial-proposed.
+ 8. Run 'sudo rm -rf /var/lib/schroot/chroots/yakkety-amd64' to remove the 
incompletely-bootstrapped directory from the previous attempt.
+ 9. Run 'mk-sbuild yakkety' again.  Confirm that the command exits 0.
+ 10. Confirm that 'schroot -l' shows the yakkety-amd64 chroot.
+ 
  On my system, /etc/localtime points to Etc/UTC. When I run mk-sbuild, it
  fails as follows:
  
  I: Base system installed successfully.
  cp: '/etc/localtime' and 
'/var/lib/schroot/chroots/xenial-amd64/etc/localtime' are the same file
