** Description changed: [ Impact ] * Error when parsing lsb_release, landscape-package-reporter unable to report package list to server (LP: #2031036): * The version of Landscape Client in the Ubuntu main repository for Focal and Jammy fails to report package information Landscape Server when the client machine has lsb modules installed (ex. lsb-core). [ Test Plan ] * `lxc launch ubuntu:focal # or ubuntu:jammy` * `lxc exec <lxc-container-name> -- su -l ubuntu # shell into container` * `sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y landscape-client` * `lsb_release -a # Check no lsb modules` * `sudo apt-get install -y lsb-core # install lsb module` * `sudo landscape-config --silent --url="$LANDSCAPE_ROOT_URL/message- system" --ping-url="$LANDSCAPE_ROOT_URL/ping" --account-name $ACCOUNT_NAME --registration-key $REGISTRATION_KEY --computer-title $HOSTNAME` * Accept the machine's registration if needed and wait for package reporting to (try and) run: * tail /var/log/landscape/package-reporter.log * You should see `ValueError: too many values to unpack`. * Reset the process (ex. delete container, remove from Landscape) * In a fresh instance, install an LSB module, and the proposed Landscape Client. You can add my ppa to get the proposed version: * sudo apt install -y lsb-core landscape-client # should pull new version * Now register the container with Landscape Server, wait for package- - reporter to run again and verify no errors are raised: - - * sudo landscape-config --silent - --url="$LANDSCAPE_ROOT_URL/message-system" --ping- - url="$LANDSCAPE_ROOT_URL/ping" --account-name $ACCOUNT_NAME - --registration-key $REGISTRATION_KEY --computer-title $HOSTNAME - - * sudo watch tail -n 30 /var/log/landscape/package-reporter.log + reporter to run again and verify no errors are raised. * Additionally, make sure that package-reporter can report package information to the server properly. [ Where problems could occur ] * Because the fix also changed the approach to read the os-release file instead of the lsb_release command output, this could introduce unforeseen behavior with code that was written with the original implementation in mind. * However, without these fixes, Landscape Client cannot report package data with lsb modules installed so it is hard to imagine how this would be worse.
