[Bug 1931171] Re: kernel_lockdown(7) describes removed SysRq for lifting lockdown

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted manpages into hirsute-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/manpages/5.10-1ubuntu0.1 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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. 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.

** Changed in: manpages (Ubuntu Hirsute)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-hirsute

Title:
  kernel_lockdown(7) describes removed SysRq for lifting lockdown

Status in manpages package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in manpages source package in Hirsute:
  Fix Committed
Status in manpages source package in Impish:
  Fix Released
Status in manpages package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Documentation tells users they can lift lockdown locally via a SysRq, when in fact we do not support this (confirmed w/ @sforshee on kernel team).

  [Test Case]
  man kernel_lockdown - look for documentation of the SysRq feature.

  [Fix]
  https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/man-pages/commit/09df87e9ee3e1a429a2c1709dfd16ec8ff0f616

  [Where Problems Could Occur]
  The only potential problem I can see is the corner case risk there is with any update - maybe the build environment has changed in some way that introduces a regression elsewhere in the package? /me waves hands.
