[Bug 1588287] Re: util-linux breaks xenial installation

[Martin Pitt]

Fixed in yakkety. Can you please describe how this is being triggered?
Perhaps attach /var/log/installer/* ? We can't fix this in stables
without knowing how to reproduce the bug and verify that this fixes it.
Thanks!

Title:
  util-linux breaks xenial installation

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in util-linux source package in Trusty:
  Incomplete
Status in util-linux package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Attempting to install xenial from an alternate install image xenial-
  alternate-amd64.iso triggered the bug reported at:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823665

  and fixed by the patch at:

  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/pkg-util-
  linux.git/commit/?id=49a9f9ff0cdb64c02b12c2a00af30472305bc377

  The patch was made on util-linux-2.28-2 but can be applied easily to
  2.27.1-6ubuntu3 as found in xenial, so I back-ported the patch onto my
  local copy of the iso and can confirm that the installation got past
  the installation of util-linux.
