[Bug 1910094] Please test proposed package

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello glancr, or anyone else affected,

Accepted u-boot into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/u-boot/2020.10+dfsg-
1ubuntu0~18.04.2 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, what testing has been
performed on the package 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.

Title:
  uboot fails to save env after core18 refresh

Status in snap-core18:
  New
Status in u-boot package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in u-boot source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed
Status in u-boot source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Attempts to refresh the core18 snap on some ARM devices (Raspberry Pi
  Model 3B/3B+/4B) fails during the post-refresh hook.

  
  ## Expected behavior

  The snap should refresh without issues.

  ## Actual behavior

  The refresh is rolled back after the reboot during post-refresh. Snap
  tasks <change-id> shows that the refresh errors out at “Automatically
  connect eligible plugs and slots of snap "core18"”.

  Upon zyga's request, I checked the boot logs via serial connection:

  Regular boot → https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TmM3NHyzvb/
  Reboot after core18 refresh => https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZS9spYFYcf/

  Note the help outputs for `env` and `save`, which suggests an error in
  the `env export` command from https://github.com/snapcore/pi-
  gadget/blob/18-armhf/uboot.env.in#L20

  ## Context

  Custom gadget snap based on pi-gadget 18-armhf branch: https://gitlab.com/glancr/gadget-snap-pi-kiosk
  My repository includes this commit from upstream that changed `saveenv` to a custom `export_env` macro: https://github.com/snapcore/pi-gadget/commit/d837f0cfcdc84b92b3de8a380bafd14e55e65f6a

  snap version:
  snap    2.48.1
  snapd   2.48.1
  series  16
  kernel  5.3.0-1036-raspi2

  Maybe related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-core18/+bug/1900879 ; at least that was the issue prompting the changes in uboot.env.in.
