Good to know that your ubuntu mail is dead Serge. Ok so for now we will leave vmbuilder as-is and Serge will take care for it. If you can't do so anymore let us know that we remove it then (unless someone else stepped up). As outlined in comment #15 please as you can afford the time try to

As discussed we are back after some time. Feedback on making one of the forks the new upstream was good, see [1]. In the discussion it came up that the fork [2] is willing to check on issues and provide fixes as good as possible. And recently activity looks good [3]. E.g. bug 994199 got an

Note, if someone is willing to commit to maintaining upstream and making sure it runs on the current Ubuntu development release, I'm willing to help out with packaging for SRUs and, if needed, packaging for dev release. But someone else will need to commit to analyzing and fixing most bug

Hi Vacheslav, thanks for the info. I didn't see many commits there, just as on the other forks. Is there more activity behind the scenes or planned? And if so - are you willing to maintain that package as Serge said for "past and current releases"? Because right now it doesn't really work

I checked how the two dependencies use the vm-builder and since vm-builder has no idea how to handler >=Yakkety both will fail on >=Yakkety. What does that imply - not used by anybody? I wait on your update on the potential future of vm-builder, but I lean more and more a second try removing it

Hi Serge, vmbuilder still is bit-rotting since 2014 when you started to want to remove it. I was coming to the same conclusion today and then found your bug. But the same two dependencies (sandbox-upgrader/auto-upgrade-tester) still hold it needed for now. You said there is might be community

Another promising alternative could be virt-builder (from package libguestfs-tools), but that one is bugged, too (e.g. http://askubuntu.com/questions/858966/has-anyone-successfully-run-virt- builder-on-16-04/859082). virt-install is in a totally different class of tools imho, I'd like to setup a
