+1 Maintenance report from Sep 29, 2025 to Oct 2, 2025

I asked on the Matrix devel channel and got the suggestion to focus on the proposed-migration of packages required for the 25.10 milestone.

Work-needed items

  • gvfs: this was caught up in sudo migration. This could be taken up in the next shift or left to the owning team since it is in main.
  • mingw-w64 and gcc-mingw-w64 build failures. The AA team needs to do a manual bootstrap.

Sponsorship needed

No.

Full logs

Day 1

I did the change for OpenSSL, so I started looking at it first. I did a bunch of retries for obvious infra issues. I identified systemd, openssh, openssl, krb5 as the most important packages for the milestone.

I noticed that cryptsetup has been failing on all architectures. I handed it to @mkukri for further investigation.

@waveform suggested I look at u-boot FTBFS for Questing.

I sent a patch file, git branch was not up to date since 2025.01-3ubuntu3 was failing to build.

Day 2

I sent resource-agents to ubuntu-server team since it was failing on all archs, it was blocking curl and openssl, @renanrodrigo did the further investigation

Day 3

postgresql-17 was blocking OpenSSL Bug #2125969 “postgresql-17 version 17.6-1build1 autopkgtests fa...” : Bugs : postgresql-17 package : Ubuntu
@athos-ribeiro identified it as another rust-coreutils sort related bug.

I spent some time on sudo 1.9.17 migration.

gvfs
I did a fix which fixed the autopkgtest locally, it turned out to be a flaky test case and the fix was wrong. This could be picked up in the next shift Bug #2126596 “gvfs 1.57.2-2ubuntu5 autopkgtests failing with Syn...” : Bugs : gvfs package : Ubuntu

Day 4

There was another upload of OpenSSL with CVEs fixes picked up from version 3.5.4.

@ginggs took care of migration of openssl and curl vs resource-agents over the weekend.

I filed debian bugs for clisp 1:2.49.20250504.gitf662209-1 auotpkgtest failures. Most of them were failing on all arch with the same error ‘bool’ is a keyword with ‘-std=c23’. I realised the latest ecl had the fix, clisp migrated upon rerun of the tests.

Same with gap package 4.15.0-1 : gap package : Ubuntu (in release now)

I spent some time on build-essential retries llvm14 build failures, this was not very productive.

I do not remember how but I was looking at build failures of gcc-mingw-w64 27 : gcc-mingw-w64 package : Ubuntu and it looks like it is stuck due to some cyclic dependencies with 12.0.0-5 : mingw-w64 package : Ubuntu
I asked @doko to look at it and I learned that the AA team who has access to the archive toolbox needs to do a manual bootstrap.
