[Bug 1855354] Re: lb chroot_archives eats apt preferences files

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into bionic-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.525.36 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 for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [impact]
  This breaks apt update in a trusty docker image that does not have ESM enabled.

  [test case]
  for trusty:

  Build a livefs with image_format=plain, project=ubuntu-base. Unpack
  it, do the usual pre-chroot setup dance (copy resolv.conf, bind mount
  proc and dev) chroot into it and run apt update.

  for the newer releases:
  We have no seeded package that create apt preferences in their postinst yet, so let's just check the autopkgtest results.

  [regression potential]
  The change could conceivably leave apt preference files we want deleted in an image. But this seems very unlikely.
