This was initially triggered by: https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-seeds/+merge/363541 Which was matching cleanups we did earlier this year and again in Malta. But that there was fallout to multipath-tools was unknown at least to me, thanks @xnox for the dup to the bug about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824776 Title: New multipath-tools doesn't update in containers (disco) Status in lxd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Steps to reproduce 1. use current Disco container in LXD $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:d d-upgr 2. dist-upgrade to do the multipath-tools upgrade Note: dist upgrade will trigger the same, but this has less noise $ apt install multipath-tools Right after start we have this. root@d-upgr:~# apt-cache policy multipath-tools multipath-tools: Installed: 0.7.4-2ubuntu4 Candidate: 0.7.4-2ubuntu7 Version table: 0.7.4-2ubuntu7 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 Packages *** 0.7.4-2ubuntu4 100 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Example: root@d-upgr:~# apt install multipath-tools Reading package lists...

Errors were encountered while processing: multipath-tools E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A quick check with former versions showed that this is no new behavior (e.g. in Bionic multipath-tools also fails to install). The actual "new breaking change" seems to be that the LXD image now contains multipath. It would be nice to fix multipath to behave better in a containerized environment, so a bug task for multipath certainly is correct. But also the image building for LXD should not by default have that installed right? Was there a reason to do so and if so has that been tested (as it seems no). Was it a seed or dependency change?
