[Bug 1780109] Re: Only Recommend rsyslog | system-log-daemon

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Balint, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gce-compute-image-packages into bionic-proposed. The package
will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/gce-compute-image-packages/20180510+dfsg1-0ubuntu4~18.04.1 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 on 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

Title:
  Only Recommend rsyslog | system-log-daemon

Status in gce-compute-image-packages package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gce-compute-image-packages source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in gce-compute-image-packages source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * gce-compute-image-packages depends on rsyslog | system-log-daemon
  while there is need for images where none of those dependencies are
  present.

   * The upload demotes the dependencies to Recommends

  [Test Case]

   * This is seen when the package is fixed:
  $ apt show gce-compute-image-packages | grep rsyslog

  WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
  scripts.

  Recommends: google-cloud-sdk, rsyslog | system-log-daemo

   * google-cloud-sdk is recommended only on Xenial and Trusty

  [Regression Potential]

   * Since by default recommended packages are installed with the
  packages recommending them the change should not cause issues in image
  generation nor during package upgrades. When an image build process
  uses apt's --no-install-recommends option, that would result rsyslog
  missing from the image.
