Public bug reported: Back in 10.6.0-2 (right after where we branched for oracular) we changed a lot of wher which files reside. That was yet another step in splitting up libvirt which Ubuntu fully joined a while ago.
But it was found in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094583) that the logic we had to handle conffiles can lead to losing them making it impossible to start guests at all. Andrea has done some great debugging together with the reporter Kevin, the same would affect Plucky as well. Beta testing has started just now, but there is no reason to wait until this happens to be found for an even later panic. The fix has some pro's and con's, but I agree to Andreas that it is better than the former state. I consider this release blocking for reliable usage of the virt stack for upgrading users. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical Status: Triaged ** Affects: libvirt (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Summary changed: - Avoid misguided conffile transfer + Avoid misguided conffile transfer in Plucky ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #1094583 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094583 ** Also affects: libvirt (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094583 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2105496 Title: Avoid misguided conffile transfer in Plucky To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/2105496/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
