** No longer affects: landscape-client ** Description changed:
[System] Any current Ubuntu Desktop/Server supported release (Trusty, Xenial, Bionic, Cosmic). [Impact] Package installation turns into an inconsistent state if system is rebooted in the middle of an apt install/upgrade. [Test Case] Scenario with Landscape: 1. Upgrade triggered from Landscape 2. User at Ubuntu Desktop reboots the box using the GUI 3. System reboots and potentially turns into an inconsistent state Scenario w/o Landscape: 1. User1 at Ubuntu Server issues "sudo apt-get upgrade" 2. User2 at Ubuntu Server issues "shutdown -r" 3. System reboots and potentially turns into an inconsistent state [Remarks] APT should automatically inhibit system halts/reboots while packages being installed/removed. A similar behavior to what is shown by unattended-upgrades. - - As a Plan B, an Ubuntu Server/Desktop with the Landscape Client - installed, should at least display warning the users that packages are - being installed. ** Description changed: [System] Any current Ubuntu Desktop/Server supported release (Trusty, Xenial, Bionic, Cosmic).
