[ SRU Justification ]
Currently, systems installed from live media have several critical files
(like initctl and start-stop-daemon) failing debsums checks because they are
incorrectly using the files from the release pocket versions of their packages,
rather than the -updates version that's actually installed.
[ Test Case ]
Build a test CD, run through an install, and verify that, post-install, all
the files referenced in the patches are the expected content. Those files are:
+ For trusty:
/sbin/initctl (should be from the -updates version of upstart)
/sbin/start-stop-daemon (should be from the -updates version of dpkg)
/bin/hostname (should be from the release pocket version of hostname)
/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d (should not exist on the filesystem, post-install)
+
+ For vivid:
+ /sbin/initctl (should be from the -updates version of upstart)
+ None of the other packages have had an SRU in vivid.
[ Regression Potential ]
Assuming the above test case passes, pretty minimal. The change isn't
invasive, except for swapping silly mv && do_stuff && mv semantics with more
correct dpkg-divert add/remove.
[ Original Report ]
After fresh install from 14.04.1-amd64-dvd - debsums -c results in:
/sbin/start-stop-daemon. I checked dpkg package with dpkg -s dpkg and got:
Status: install ok installed, Version: 1.17.5ubuntu5.3 (the latest version) but
when I did md5sum /sbin/start-stop-daemon, I got
b1b8894ae2e3b547dca0e288634cce4a, which is md5sum for start-stop-daemon from
dpkg version 1.17.5ubuntu5!
I confirmed the problem in Ubuntu/Xubuntu 14.04.1-i386 (VirtualBox) - the
same case - latest version of dpkg package contains older version of
start-stop-daemon. I guess this is the same problem I reported here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-build/+bug/1150737. I fixed the
problem with sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg - simple if You know about
it, otherwise You have outdated/buggy/ package/system...
Rgds!
