ubuntu 14.04.02 build fails at boot (gets stuck at grub)

ubuntu 14.04.02 build fails at boot (gets stuck at grub).

In the log of the build I see something strange:

/tmp/in_target.d/finalise.d/51-bootloader: line 170: [: =: unary operator expected
+ '[' = wheezy ']'
/tmp/in_target.d/finalise.d/51-bootloader: line 170: [: =: unary operator expected

and in script (line 170)

elements/vm/finalise.d/51-bootloader

    if [ $DIB_RELEASE = 'precise' ] || [ $DIB_RELEASE = 'wheezy' ]; then

where I guess it should be jessie.

I also have

dib-manifest-dpkg-ubuntu:{"package": "grub-common","arch": "amd64","version": "2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1","status": "ii " },
dib-manifest-dpkg-ubuntu:{"package": "grub-gfxpayload-lists","arch": "amd64","version": "0.6","status": "ii " },
dib-manifest-dpkg-ubuntu:{"package": "grub-pc","arch": "amd64","version": "2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1","status": "ii " },
dib-manifest-dpkg-ubuntu:{"package": "grub-pc-bin","arch": "amd64","version": "2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1","status": "ii " },
dib-manifest-dpkg-ubuntu:{"package": "grub2-common","arch": "amd64","version": "2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1","status": "ii " },

Any ideas? I have also tried from a clean checkout, same problem.

Any help will be appreciated!

Looks like the shell error has been fixed recently with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/154083/, which is commit 16f1de61155baf72d4116441a72f2428810a52ae, not yet part of any tagged release.

Any development with this problem?

At the moment the ubuntu images that are built are not usable, as the boot process immediately stops at the grub minimal shell...

This is really a critical problem for me, but unless it is just me having done something wrong somehow, other people should be affected too.

Any suggestion or feedback is appreciated.

Well, see my previous reply to this bug. That commit now is in diskimage-builder >= 0.1.41, so please try that version.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Confirmed fixed in diskimage-builder >= 0.1.41, hence closing.
