+1 maintenance status − July 13-17

[Rafael David Tinoco]

This was my week and here is some of my notes about achievements and
highlights:

----
Overall status:
--

- read all the maint+1 docs and @piloted in ubuntu-devel

- qemu TCG memory issue causing spinned qemu instances to be killed

casper has a qemu instance killed because of TCG (cdrom file cant be found)


=> lost some time here trying to reproduce, unfortunately lack of attention
as @paelzer had already warned me about, but I did not link cause and
effect for this case.

open-iscsi - likely same thing

systemd - likely same thing

ubuntu-image - likely same thing


- nettle (lots of implicit dependencies):

blocking curl,
freetds,
libarchive,
rtmpdump,
mir,
chrony,
dnsmasq,
openldap,
nettle,
squid,
unbound

will unblock lots of stuff when fixed.


- sqlite3 blocked by python3.8 and seqtools -> should unblock now

----
Detailed information of what I remembered to take notes of:
--

Excuses [main]: pam (armhf kopano-core / amd64 systemd)

FTBFS [main]: zsys (armhf)

Opened an issue for armhf regression:
https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys/issues/157 and informed what seemed to be
the reason (suggesting arch support or binary package removal)

Excuses [main]: openldap (armhf kopano core)

Retried test (kopano armhf regression similar to pam, which migrated after
retry).

Excuses [main]: open-iscsi (amd64 regression)


Christian told me that TCG needs more memory for tests to pass. He has been
discussing with upstream about this issue and there is already an available
patch. I think he also proposed a mitigation to CI infrastructure.


Excuses [main]: lintian (all lintian regression)


Tried to reproduce the issue locally but couldn't. Tried to reproduce the
issue with arm64 (--onlyrun="test:bin-sbin-confusion-in-elf") like logs
from qa runs but could not. Re-tried all arches with all-proposed=1. Needs
checking.


Excuses [main]: curl (amd64 hyphy regression)

Retried test to see if it passes. Curl still depends on nettle but hyphy
has passed.


Excuses [main]: libgpg-error (amd64 systemd regression)

libgpg-error: amd64 regression because of systemd dependency/autopkg tests.
It has an "upstream" set of tests and it had stderr (most likely) ->
retried.



Investigating casper issue happening in autopkgtest environment only
regarding missing cdrom-fstype.txt file.


Excuses [main]: systemd (armhf seqtools)

My seqtools fix unlocked (or will unlock) this.


Excuses [universe]: sqlite3 (armhf seqtools)

The issue is on test4 and happens because of xvfb-run (Xvfb) and not
because of the test itself. Checking if there is a fix or we should just
make as badtest.


Uploaded a change to seqtools that change resolution for xvfb so tests
don't fail in armhf (tested and worked several times).


https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seqtools/+bug/1887858


Excuses [universe]: dropbear (helping sergiodj in ramping up maint+1)

4 hands with sergiodj for maint+1 and core-dev skills ramp up.

(he will send his notes)


Excuses [universe]: python-tz (armhf python-certbot)

Re-tried test to see if it passes. It cant migrate because it would make
python-oops uninstall able (regression is gone)


Excuses [main]: sqlite3 (all python3.8 regression)

sqlite3: python3.8 regression in all arches


sqlite3: re-tried hyphy amd64 regression test (illegal instruction
executed) => passed.


Python3.8 was updated by doko, I re-tried all tests with the proper version
before excuses were updated.


If python3.8 passes (for sqlite3) it shall migrate as I have already fixed .
