[Bug 1960457] Re: Please remove lupin from the archive

[frostschutz]

The casper-helpers :: wait_for_devs() function has a locking file logic
using this path "/dev/.initramfs/lupin-waited-for-devs"

    wait_for_devs(){
        if [ -e /dev/.initramfs/lupin-waited-for-devs ]; then
            return  
        fi
        ...
        touch /dev/.initramfs/lupin-waited-for-devs
    }

When booting with isoscan this error message appears:

    touch: /dev/.initramfs/lupin-waited-for-devs: No such file or
directory

The /dev/.initramfs/ dir does not seem to exist at all, so touch fails,
and the locking never comes to pass. Maybe /dev/.initramfs was lupin
specific?

There's another reference to /dev/.initramfs/ in
/usr/lib/brltty/brltty.sh though. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to test
that one.

isoscan still works regardless so this message can be ignored, just not
sure if this locking is still relevant for anything. If it's not then
maybe these 4 lines could just be commented out...

Title:
  Please remove lupin from the archive

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in lupin package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  lupin is an Ubuntu native package that was used to facilitate WUBI
  installs of Ubuntu. However, WUBI is no longer a product Canonical
  produces or supports and subsequently we don't need to be keeping
  lupin around. Nothing depends on the source package or its binaries.

  [  1:30PM 11986 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r jammy src:lupin
  [  1:30PM 11987 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r focal src:lupin
  [  3:22PM 11993 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]

  Having said that livecd-rootfs does try and install lupin-casper when
  building Ubuntu images but that is cruft but may need to be removed
  from livecd-rootfs before the package is removed.
