** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + * 24.04 changed apt sources to deb822 format. This causes landscape-client's + package-reporter to report errors to landscape-server, specifically "There + are no APT sources configured in /etc/apt/sources.list or + /etc/apt/sources.list.d". This error doesn't block package reporting, but it + does impact reporting of configured APT sources. + + * This affects all releases with deb822 sources - noble onward - and so should + be applied to noble + + * The patch turns on deb822 support only if it is available to preserve + backward compat + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Reproducing the bug should requires registering a client with a Landscape + Server + + sudo apt install landscape-client + sudo landscape-config # progress through the wizard + + * After some time, server should report "1 computer is having issues reporting + packages" in the alerts panel in the top right. + + * Navigating to /account/<account_name>/computers/?criteria=alert:package-reporter + lists the registered computer. + + * Clicking the alert in the alerts panel shows the registered computer in the + list, along with Error output "There are no APT sources configured in + /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d." + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * Reporting on non-deb822 *.list sources could break, alone or when present in + combination with deb822 sources. + + * Landscape package activities: install, remove, upgrade could fail or could + fail to report packages after they complete. + + * This is a change to landscape/lib, which is also used in landscape-sysinfo, + part of motd. If it breaks, it could cause issues in the login MOTD. + + [ Other Info ] + + * Landscape server can still instruct the client to write non-deb822 sources, + this fix only targets reporting of deb822 sources, not configuration of + sources. + + === ORIGINAL BUG REPORT FOLLOWS === + It looks like 24.04 is changing how apt sources work.. $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=23.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=mantic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 23.10" $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic restricted main multiverse universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-updates restricted main multiverse universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-updates restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security restricted main multiverse universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-security restricted main multiverse universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-backports restricted main multiverse universe # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu mantic-backports restricted main multiverse universe - $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Noble Numbat (development branch)" $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list # Ubuntu sources have moved to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources Types: deb URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Suites: noble noble-updates noble-backports Components: main restricted universe multiverse Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg Types: deb URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ Suites: noble-security Components: main restricted universe multiverse Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg - - With this, Landscape is now reporting an alert "Package reporting issues": + With this, Landscape is now reporting an alert "Package reporting + issues": There are no APT sources configured in /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
