proposed-migration

  • Updated pinentry to not build a qt5-based module on i386
  • Added sagemath to long_tests, but it seems the testsuite now just fails due to hitting its own timeout. But it also doesn’t pass consistently in the release pocket, so now this is not-a-regression and things are unblocked (e.g. ipykernel has migrated, which will bring the uninstallable count back down)
  • django-auth-ldap FTBFS because python-ldap is broken with current openldap. Uploaded a fix taken from the upstream issue.
  • No-change rebuilds for the reverse-dependencies of libgoogle-glog0v5, needed to unblock gnss-sdr and resolve the gnuradio NBS.

NBS

  • Upload reverse-dependencies of gnuradio
  • Upload reverse-dependencies of libgit2-1.1

autopkgtest

  • added pglogical to never_run for bionic, focal, and impish on armhf as it is already hinted for britney and runs for an excessive period of time and then isn’t cleaned up
  • investigation into why long running armhf autopkgtests aren’t getting killed successfully
  • cowboy’ed a fix on the lxd worker to use SIGKILL if SIGTERM fails when cleaning up processes

Ubuntu

  • talked with @enron regarding tools for more efficient bug triage i.e. ubuntu bug patterns and standared responses

  • reported an ubuntu-release-upgrader bug regarding upgrading from Groovy failing
  • discovered an issue with retry-autopkgtest-regressions failing to download log files for python-llfuse but its because those results don’t exist for kinetic
  • ran the autopkgtests for the following packages to get the results to show up:
    • python-llfuse on armhf for kinetic
    • golang-github-vishvananda-netlink on s390x for kinetic
    • optimir on ppc64el, arm64, amd64 for kinetic
      • bowtie ended up migrating to the release pocket

    • libobject-pad-slotattr-trigger-perl on amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x for kinetic
    • golang-github-komkom-toml on armhf for kinetic
    • and more?

  • subiquity
    • Release Subiquity 22.05.1 with bugfixes for proxy and md raid issues.
    • PR: 1299 - fix an infinite loop found while working on partition minimum size info. Subiquity uses probert to look at block devices, and then monitors udev events to see if it should run probert again, but if the probert run triggers a udev event it loops forever. Don’t do that.
    • PR: 1300 (LP: #1975629) - use a clean environment for the debug shell. Fixes PYTHONPATH shenanigans causing harm to running python in the debug shell.
    • Specification work
    • Review: PR: 1298, PR: 1301
  • curtin
    • MP: 423116 - fix deb build and regular dependencies
    • Review: MP: 415700
  • probert
    • PR: 118 - finish PR for reporting minimum size of partitions for ext / ntfs. Address feedback.
  • distro:
    • squashfs-tools vs systemd - same old systemd upstream-1 timeout probably. Requested retest.
    • binutils vs things - more retests.
