Public bug reported: Starting with Ubuntu 18.10, LXD will only be distributed as a snap.
Existing users will need to be migrated on upgrade and all reverse dependencies be made aware of the snap. For those reverse dependencies, make sure that you either: - Use the "lxc" and "lxd" commands WITHOUT hardcoding any paths (as they'll now be under /snap/bin/) - Use the API and known to look for BOTH /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket and /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket The "lxd" deb will remain around, so it's fine to still suggest/recommend/depend on it as that'll just install the snap as needed. ** Affects: adapt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: lxd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: nova-compute-lxd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: autopkgtest (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: adapt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: nova-compute-lxd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788040 Title: Replace LXD deb by snap in Ubuntu 18.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adapt/+bug/1788040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
