[Bug 1484740] Re: 14.04 trousers version 0.3.11.2-1 fails to start with TPM device

[Eric Desrochers]

Here's a positive feedback for my hotfix package ....

It has been brought to my attention :

---
That appears to have done the trick. trousers installed cleanly with this package and opencryptoki & tpm-tools installed normally from our local mirror after that.

Title:
  14.04 trousers version 0.3.11.2-1 fails to start with TPM device

Status in trousers package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in trousers source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  This leaves the trousers package in a half-config state, preventing
  deployment of TPM.

  [Test Case]

  Installing trousers (<= 0.3.11.2-1) package on Trusty (14.04 LTS)
  using TPM device (Trusted Platform Module)

  # Check for TPM device
  $ ls /dev/tpm?

  # Install trousers
  $ sudo apt-get install trouser

  [Regression Potential]

  None expected.
  The postinst script is already in Wily/Xenial and in the upstream debian package.

  # Xenial changelog :

  trousers (0.3.13-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  ...
  * Try to workaround systemd/udev names when reloading rules (Closes: #739485)

  can the apt repositories for 14.04.2 LTS be updated to include the
  latest version of trousers 0.3.13-3? this issue does not exist if i
  install the package manually.
