You have been subscribed to a public bug by Eric Desrochers (slashd): Affected release: Ubuntu 14.04.5 Version of package: 14.12-0ubuntu5.14.04
Steps to reproduce: 1. Run do-release-upgrade to upgrade to 16.04.2. 2. Trigger the package-reporter to kick in while do-release-upgrade is working but not having the package database locked. 3. Package database is locked by package-reporter, do-release-upgrade fails to access it and exits. Expected result: Landscape detects that there's an release upgrade in progress and will wait for it to finish. Actual result: PackageReporter locks the apt database, do-release-upgrade cannot access it, exits with an error and may leave the system in an unusable state. * Link to Dariusz's PR on GitHub: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/landscape-client/pull/14 ** Affects: landscape-client Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Dariusz Gadomski (dgadomski) Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Trusty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Dariusz Gadomski (dgadomski) Status: New ** Affects: landscape-client (Ubuntu Bb-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: sts sts-sru-needed -- PackageReporter kicks in during do-release-upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of STS Sponsors Team, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sts-sponsors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sts-sponsors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
