** Description changed:
- [Impact]
- * Users trying to apply changes to package profiles through landscape
- will get an error in the activity. This will result in incomplete apt
- source list on those clients.
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Users trying to apply a landscape package profile with a recent
+ version of python-apt on xenial will get a stuck activity and an
+ incomplete sources.list.d entry.
+
+ * The change adds a [trusted=yes] option to temporary local sources
+ created by landscape. Global sources and apt options
+
[Test Case]
+
+ * install landscape-client and register it.
+
+ * create and associate a package profile.
+
+ * the packages are installed and /var/log/landscape/package-changer.log
+ has no errors
+
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * This is a backport of fixes already released since yakkety. The
+ change has been released for a long time.
+
+ * Change is agnostic of whether the issue is present or not and should
+ work no matter the apt configuration.
+
+ * The affected code path is limited to profiles, but is also used a lot in
unit tests fixtures, thus making it reasonably exercised.
+
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * This change was not previously required on xenial, as it was not required.
Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories was set to be backward compatible and was
accepted by python-apt. Changes in python-apt now looks for
APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated.
+
+ * We fix landcape-client instead of raising the python-apt regression
+ because the new behaviour is consistent with later releases, which we
+ already handle. Also, it decouples landscape from requiring specific
+ configuration.
+
+
+ [Original Description]
* install landscape-server-quickstart and landscape-api
* Create a package profile "minimum packages" and add basic packages (byobu,
vim, ubuntu-cloud-keyring). Enable for all computers
* create a xenial container or machine and install/configure landscape-client
Note that the apply package profile gets stuck and doesn't progress. On
the container that was created, running apt update shows:
sudo apt update
Get:1 file:/var/lib/landscape/client/package/binaries ./ InRelease
Ign:1 file:/var/lib/landscape/client/package/binaries ./ InRelease
Get:2 file:/var/lib/landscape/client/package/binaries ./ Release

Reading package lists... Done
E: The repository 'file:/var/lib/landscape/client/package/binaries ./
Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore
disabled by default.
