Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.

This seems to be a bug indeed. From the upgrade logs we can see:

/etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2:
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
/usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2: line 494: tempfile: command not found
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 exited with return code 127
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-5.13.0-19-generic (--configure):
installed linux-image-5.13.0-19-generic package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

The important part here is the "tempfile: command not found". The tempfile command was removed from debianutils package in version 5.0, and during the do-release-upgrade run it was upgraded from version 4.9.1 (Focal) to version 5.5-1 (Jammy). The debianutils package was upgraded before linux-image-5.13.0-19-generic:5.13.0-19.19 and then when the linux-image postinst triggered the execution of /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2 you got the crash because this script still relies on the tempfile command.

In order to do not break upgrades from Focal to Jammy we need to make the update-grub-legacy-ec2 script in src:grub-legacy-ec2 use likely "mktemp" instead of "tempfile". A bonus point would be to avoid using the "which" command (probably use "command -v") since it was already deprecated in debianutils version 5.0 and should be removed in the future.

We all wanted to have a look, this is what I found:

boost/boost1.74-1.74.0/tools/quickbook/build/warning-check:5:tmpfile=$(tempfile)
That is in jammy's current 1.74.0-13ubuntu1 but only referenced for travis runs (of the doc build).
Worth a task to check in detail, but unlikely to need a fix.

ceph/ceph/src/boost/tools/quickbook/build/warning-check:5:tmpfile=$(tempfile)
^^ That is the same as above as embedded source, worth a check if it is used indirectly anywhere (unlikely).

get-docker-images/ubuntu-layer/bin/bzexe:123:tmpfile=`tempfile -p gztmp -d /tmp` || exit 1
I found it here but it is actually part of src:bzip2
Fixed by
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bzip2/-/commit/aff0bec9ea82646baf6d9d824022bc6f3cf46514
This is not yet uploaded to Debian and therefore missing in Jammy as well

In Ubuntu we've temporarily restored tempfile (for Jammy), but it's still deprecated and prints a deprecation notice to stderr, so I'm leaving the tasks for the other packages open, as they still need to move away from using tempfile.

Hi!

For ceph, I was checking the use of the warning-check script commented on #3. Nothing is calling it in the repo.

At first glance, someone could think about this as necessary if it used in building time of Quickbook for boost, but I checked the building log for Jammy [1] and I didn't find any use of it.

In the case of boost1.74, attending to the doc for Quickbook here [1], it seems that can be a rebuild of Quickbook (and maybe use of the warning-check script), because in the build log for boost1.74 [2] the following can be seen:

echo "using boostbook ;" > user-config-doc.jam
echo "using quickbook ;" >> user-config-doc.jam

and the building with b2/bjam :

cd tools/quickbook && /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/b2 -j4 -q -d2 --layout=system --ignore-site-config --user-config=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/user-config.jam debug-symbols=on
Performing configuration checks

but the script is not used here, not deployed later with the package (checking if it can be used in quickbook's rebuilding):

And as comment #8 and #3 outlined the use of it in boost is not a real problem for build or usage in the distribution, setting that task to invalid.
