mercurial/5.3.1-1ubuntu1 (s390x) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/focal/update_excuses.html#less [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to less in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874953 Title: dpkg: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127 Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in less package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in smartmontools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in dpkg source package in Focal: Invalid Status in less source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in smartmontools source package in Focal: Invalid Status in dpkg source package in Groovy: Invalid Status in less source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in smartmontools source package in Groovy: Invalid Status in dpkg package in Debian: New Status in less package in Debian: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] During a release upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS some users are not able to view the differences made to a configuration file during the upgrade process. This creates a bad user experience and leads to extra crash reports. [Test Case] 1) Upgrade from a not usr-merged system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 2) Install the smartmontools package 3) Edit /etc/default/smartmontools (it's enough to just add a comment in there) 4) Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (this requires do-release-upgrade -d as 20.04.1 is not out yet so release upgrades are not enabled) To test the fix in the version of less from focal-proposed some hackery of the release upgrader code will be necessary as it disables proposed during the upgrade process. After enabling -proposed for bionic you'll want to run do-release-upgrade -d, then cancel the upgrade. After which you can cd to /tmp/ubuntu-release- upgrader-$MKTMPDIR and edit DistUpgradeController.py and the if statement around line 641 re "Disable proposed on upgrade to a development release". Then run 'sudo ./focal'. [Regression Potential] None, as we are just calling update-alternatives in the preinst of less.
