Turns out this is caused by the way ubiquity handles package
installation. I'll add a ubiquity task, adjust the bug and fix it
there.
** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: dell-recovery
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- Can't reinstall an already-installed .debs even if they are placed in
./debs/main
+ Marking upgradable packages for installation doesn't actually upgrade them
** Description changed:
- We wanna install a new ureadahead deb package during Dell recovery. But
- as ureadahead has been already installed on target, it failed to
- reinstall it automatically even if we put the deb package file in
- ./debs/main folder
+ The dell-bootstrap plugin adds functionality to ubiquity to be able to
+ install debian packages from debs/main on the installation media during
+ installation.
+
+ Unfortunately this doesn't work properly when the package is already
+ installed in the livefs. Trying to mark it for installation doesn't
+ cause it to get upgraded.
+
+ This appears to be caused by ubiquity ignoring packages that are already
+ installed when it actually goes to do the installation.
