** Description changed: [Impact] Users with pptpd will encounter errors when upgrading from 14.04->16.04. After the upgrade process, pptpd won't automatically start on boot. [Test case] 1. Setup a Trusty container - lxc launch ubuntu-daily:trusty foo + lxc launch ubuntu-daily:trusty foo 2. Install pptpd - lxc exec foo /bin/bash - apt-get install -y pptpd + lxc exec foo /bin/bash + apt-get install -y pptpd 3. Upgrade to Xenial - lxc exec foo /bin/bash - # make do-release-upgrade happy - script -c "/bin/bash -l" /dev/null - chmod 777 /var/run/screen - do-release-upgrade + lxc exec foo /bin/bash + # make do-release-upgrade happy + script -c "/bin/bash -l" /dev/null + chmod 777 /var/run/screen + do-release-upgrade 4. Notice that pptpd fails to install properly and - apport is invoked + apport is invoked - If the debdiff makes it into -proposed, one should be able to confirm - the fix by running "do-release-upgrade --proposed". + The fix is hard to confirm properly until the debdiff lands into xenial- + updates. Until then, broken Xenial upgrades can be fixed by enabling + xenial-proposed and upgrading pptpd to 1.4.0-7ubuntu0.2. [Regression potential] Risks of regressions should be minimal since the fix have been included in Yakkety and Debian already. Worst case, users will still need to manually start the pptpd service on boot. [Original issue description] This is one of the crashed that happened during upgrade to 16.04 LTS. The install routine was exited with a script error.
