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

[Brian Murray]

Hello Ryan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted trousers into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/trousers/0.3.11.2-1ubuntu1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: trousers (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

  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.
