Thanks Rob! I have incorporated your fix in our github branch and prepared the upload. This should land in xenial-proposed soon (I hope).
** Description changed: - The launchpad builders do not have 'sudo' installed by default. When - attempting to verify bug #1799736 I found that the build would fail when - 'sudo' could not be found. The python3-ubuntu-image package should - depend on 'sudo' + [Impact] + + Recently we have backported the ubuntu-image ubuntu-core build support in livecd-rootfs in xenial. Thanks to this we are now able to build ubuntu-core 16 images using SUITE=xenial. + Sadly, in comparison to other series, the xenial ubuntu-image has additional logic used when preparing ext4 partitions due to an old mkfs.ext4 which is missing all the needed functionality. This additional logic (or hack) requires running a `sudo cp` to copy the rootfs contents onto the partition. The launchpad builders do not have 'sudo' installed by default. When attempting to verify bug #1799736 it was found that the build would fail when 'sudo' could not be found. The python3-ubuntu-image package should depend on 'sudo' + + [Test Case] + + The best test case would be to see if ubuntu-core SUITE=xenial (core16) + images still fail to build due to sudo not being available after the + package lands in xenial-proposed. + + [Regression Potential] + + The change is only a dependency addition so it should not have any real + consequences. All systems so far had sudo by default, so no users will + see any side-effects (and those that do, they couldn't use ubuntu-image + anyway). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1807750 Title: Use of 'sudo' without dependency on 'sudo' package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-image/+bug/1807750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
