** Description changed: Binary package hint: python-vm-builder + + ================================== + SRU justification: + 1. Impact: using a partition file which doesn't container *optional* elements causes failure. + 2. How bug addressed: the code is patched to use a proper test for the presence of the optional elements. (Existing check was simply wrong) + 3. Patch: See comment number 4 + 4. To reproduce: + cat > partfile << EOF + root 4000 + swap 1000 + EOF + vmbuilder xen ubuntu --part partfile + 5. Regression potential: If the patch were wrong, other bugs in the parsing of the partfile could be introduced. + ================================== In 11.04 with python-vm-builder 0.12.4+bzr464-0ubuntu1, when you have a file vmbuilder.partition with 2 lines: root 4000 swap 1000 and you run "vmbuilder xen ubuntu --suite natty --flavour virtual --arch amd64 -o --ip 192.168.122.2 --hostname myvm --bridge virbr0 --part vmbuilder.partition --user user --name user --pass default" it will crash with this error: Traceback (most recent call last): - File "/usr/bin/vmbuilder", line 24, in <module> - cli.main() - File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 222, in main - self.set_disk_layout(hypervisor) - File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 351, in set_disk_layout - if not elements[3]: + File "/usr/bin/vmbuilder", line 24, in <module> + cli.main() + File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 222, in main + self.set_disk_layout(hypervisor) + File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/VMBuilder/contrib/cli.py", line 351, in set_disk_layout + if not elements[3]: IndexError: list index out of range This is fixed with the patch i included
