Monday Triage Report (2020-11-02)

Wed Nov 4 17:22:06 UTC 2020

This is the (late) Monday triage report for 2020-11-02.

ustriage reported 12 bugs found.  These are the ones I had to work on:

### https://pad.lv/1893543 - (New) [dovecot] - dovecot is not parsing
    the variables in dovecot-ldap.conf.ext correctly

The user reopened the bug (it had expired), but did not provide more
info.  I read the message he sent to the dovecot users list, and
apparently there was not progress there.  I marked the bug as Incomplete
and asked the user whether he's got more insights to share with us.

### https://pad.lv/1901708 - *(Incomplete) [mysql-8.0] - package
    mysql-server-8.0 8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 failed to install/upgrade:
    installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script
    subprocess returned error exit status 1

Sigh...  A bunch of people are commenting/opening these MySQL bugs
against Focal.  It seems like the last mysql update really broke things,
but I can't reproduce the problem here.  I tried one more time to set up
a Focal container with very limited resources, but the upgrade
succeeded.

### https://pad.lv/1901830 - (Confirmed) [mysql-8.0] - package
    mysql-server-8.0 8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 failed to install/upgrade:
    installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script
    subprocess returned error exit status 1

Another person commented on the bug and said that they're having the
same problem, but by looks of it (he posted the logs), it's a different
issue, so I told him that.  For the reporter, I asked if he know whether
the system was under high load during the upgrade process.  Yes, I'm at
a loss here...  BTW, I think we can mark this as duplicate of 1901708 (I
didn't do it because I want to see what Paride thinks first, since he
started the investigation).

### https://pad.lv/1901995 - (Confirmed) [mysql-8.0] - package
    mysql-server-8.0 8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.10.2 failed to install/upgrade:
    installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script
    subprocess returned error exit status 1

One more that looks like 1901708.  I could not gather much info from the
logs posted, so I asked a few more questions and marked the bug as
Incomplete.  Eventually, if the user confirms that it is indeed the same
bug, we can mark it as duplicate of 1901708.

Something interesting to note here is that, in this specific bug, the
"Server upgrade" operation takes less than 5 minutes.  So yeah, maybe
we're looking at the wrong place here.

### https://pad.lv/1902348 - (New) [mysql-8.0] - package
    mysql-server-8.0 8.0.22-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 failed to install/upgrade:
    installed mysql-server-8.0 package pre-removal scrip$ subprocess
    returned error exit status 1

This is actually a different issue!  A sequence of operations to install
MySQL/MariaDB rendered MySQL in a strange state.  I was able to
reproduce it and marked the bug as Triaged.
