During the MIR Process for inetutils-telnet (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inetutils/+bug/2008789) I noticed that inetutils fails almost all autopkgtests.
See: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/i/inetutils
The reason for that failures seems to be that inetutils-ping is in conflict with iputils-ping.
The autopkgtests pass for i386, because iputils-ping does not build for i386
(See: https://packages.ubuntu.com/lunar/iputils-ping)
This demonstrates a problem for the MIR of inetutils-telnet. Assuming that inetutils-telnet will get into main; inetutils will break every time a inetutils-* package fails, although they are in universe. |

During the MIR Process for inetutils-telnet (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inetutils/+bug/2008789) I noticed that inetutils fails almost all autopkgtests. See: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/i/inetutils

This demonstrates a problem for the MIR of inetutils-telnet. Assuming that inetutils-telnet will get into main; inetutils-telnet tests will fail every time a inetutils-* package fails, although they are in universe and the failure is unrelated. |
[Problem]
* All inetutils autopkgtests [1] fail (except for i386).
* The reason for the failures is a conflict between inetutils-ping and
iputils-ping. The autopkgtests pass for i386, because iputils-ping does
not build for i386 (See [2]).
[Proposed Changes]
* Stop building the inetutils-ping binary package. This solution was
proposed/endorsed in the last #ubuntu-meeting (16.03.2023; [3]).
* Commit: [4]
* PPA: [5]
[Rationale]
* The package inetutils-telnet is required in Ubuntu main (See pending
MIR [6]), because Debian transitioned its default `telnet` client from
netkit-telnet to inetutils-telnet. This transition was postponed in
Ubuntu for kinetic by having ubuntu-standard Recommend `netkit-telnet`
instead of `telnet`.
But now, netkit-telnet has been dropped altogether from Debian and
process-removals is prompting us to also delete it from lunar [7].
* The package inetutils-telnet is required in Ubuntu main no later than
April 13th 2023 due to the Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster release date.
* A working prototype using update-alternatives was created (See the
comments below). This solution was discussed during the ubuntu-meeting.
However, it was deemed unnecessary, because it increases runtime
complexity, so it was ultimately not pursued in favor of dropping
inetutils-ping.
[Test Plan]
1. Download the ubuntu lunar autopkgtest image with:
autopkgtest-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -r lunar
2. Checkout the proposed changes with:
git clone -b ubuntu/devel https://git.launchpad.net/~dviererbe/ubuntu/+source/inetutils
3. Run the autopkgtests with:
autopkgtest ./inetutils -- qemu autopkgtest-lunar-amd64.img
4. Check that the test pass. Expected output should contain:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary
test-commands PASS
test-root-commands PASS
[Other]
* inetutils-telnet is already seeded in lunar.standard as a replacement for netkit-telnet [8]
* This conflict demonstrates a problem for the MIR of inetutils-telnet.
Assuming that inetutils-telnet will get into main; inetutils-telnet
tests will fail every time a inetutils-* package fails, although they
are in universe and the failure is unrelated.
