Hello Craig, or anyone else affected, Accepted less into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/less/551-1ubuntu0.1 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- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. 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: less (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to less in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874953 Title: dpkg: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127 Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in less package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in smartmontools package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in dpkg source package in Focal: Invalid Status in less source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in smartmontools source package in Focal: Invalid Status in dpkg source package in Groovy: Invalid Status in less source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in smartmontools source package in Groovy: Invalid Status in dpkg package in Debian: New Status in less package in Debian: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] During a release upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS some users are not able to view the differences made to a configuration file during the upgrade process. This creates a bad user experience and leads to extra crash reports. [Test Case] 1) Upgrade from a not usr-merged system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 2) Install the smartmontools package 3) Edit /etc/default/smartmontools (it's enough to just add a comment in there) 4) Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (this requires do-release-upgrade -d as 20.04.1 is not out yet so release upgrades are not enabled) To test the fix in the version of less from focal-proposed some hackery of the release upgrader code will be necessary as it disables proposed during the upgrade process. After enabling -proposed for bionic you'll want to run do-release-upgrade -d, then cancel the upgrade. After which you can cd to /tmp/ubuntu-release- upgrader-$MKTMPDIR and edit DistUpgradeController.py and the if statement around line 641 re "Disable proposed on upgrade to a development release". Then run 'sudo ./focal'. [Regression Potential] None, as we are just calling update-alternatives in the preinst of less.
