[Bug 1087630] Re: server minimal virtual installations are bloated

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

The problem is that when you preseed:
apt-get -q -y install -- openssh-server python-yaml bzr git gdebi-core python3-software-properties software-properties-common

it installs:

Title:
  server minimal virtual installations are bloated

Status in Ubuntu Seeds:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Raring server minimal virtual installations report bloated
  installation sizes. Originally it was with i386 but from 20121209 the
  amd64 installations are also reporting larger than the expected
  maximum for the daily smoke tests.

  i386 installations are reporting 885560 against the expected maximum
  of 870400

  amd64 installations are showing 964812 against the expected maximum of
  912656

  i386 server (20121207) minimal virtual installations for raring with
  utah installation are reporting an installation size of 885560 against
  the expected maximum of 870400. The size was below the expected max
  until 20121206 for i386 server images and the bloating only happened
  with 20121207 i386 server images. For amd64 images the size was below
  the expected until 20121208 and the bloating only happened with
  20121209 images

  The corresponding test code is located,
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server-dev/utah/server-tests-quantal/view/head:/testsuites/minimal-virtual/test_install_size/test.py
  The failure is

  ======================================================================
      FAIL: testInstallSize (__main__.MinimalVirtualTest)
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "test.py", line 48, in testInstallSize
          self.assertTrue( used < max_install_size, "Used: %s" % (used))
      AssertionError: Used: 885560
