Hi Lucas, thanks for the assistance. Here's the .debdiff without the ~ppa2 suffix. I opted to go with ubuntu2 because it's not really a security fix, so I wasn't sure if it's really appropriate to add the security .1 suffix.
The .debdiff is valid for both lunar and mantic, as mantic is still using the same version as lunar (see https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/tree/debian/changelog?h=ubuntu/mantic), and still has the same series. Our customer doesn't need jammy, so we don't need to go through the SRU process for this - just getting it into the latest development release is fine. ** Patch added: "busybox-1.35.0-4ubuntu2.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/2022927/+attachment/5680138/+files/busybox-1.35.0-4ubuntu2.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to busybox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2022927 Title: Busybox mount fails to mount Snaps Status in busybox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Snapd tries to mount squashfs Snaps with non-standard mount flags like "x-gdu.hide" and "x-gvfs-hide", both of which are used to indicate to userspace programs that a given mount should not be shown in a list of mounted partitions/filesystems. Busybox does not support these flags, and so fails with "Invalid argument". $ sudo busybox mount -t tmpfs -o x-gdu-hide test /tmp/test mount: mounting test on /tmp/test failed: Invalid argument These flags can likely be be safely ignored, as they don't actually affect the functionality of the mount. This goes for all mount options starting with "x-", as these generally denote non-standard mount option "extensions". I've created a patch against Busybox which adds an optional configuration item to ignore all mount options beginning with "x-". An additional verbose option has also been added to enable the ability to report that the mount flags have been ignored, rather than silently ignoring them. This is a requirement for a customer project, where we are limited to using Busybox (due to coreutils' GPL-3.0 licence) but would also require using Snaps like checkbox for testing and verification. This was posted on the Busybox mailing list a few months ago (http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2023-March/090202.html) but patch acceptance there seems to take quite a long time, and we need this for the customer.
