several packages missing or added in Lubuntu 14.04.2 manifests

[Lyn Perrine]

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 * Manifest should include standard packages.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * Manifest is missing packages and has some added packages.
 * The diff of `dpkg -l | awk -F" " '{print $2}'` in the live environment of both 14.04.1 and 14.04.2 is compared here:
   * i386: https://www.diffchecker.com/3gdr5roj
   * amd64: https://www.diffchecker.com/9rl29l79
 * The diff of mounting the alternate image and then doing `ls -R | grep "\.deb" | awk -F"_[0-9]" '{print $1}'` within the mounted directory of both 14.04.1 and 14.04.2 is compared here:
   * i386: https://www.diffchecker.com/6fgc92wl
   * amd64: https://www.diffchecker.com/2ixnc9ye

installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-utopic: seems to make my scrollwheel function so it seems to work now but I don't know why it is not in the manifest.

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

It should be noted that it's not missing in the Ubuntu manifest, so this is a problem only affecting Lubuntu, apparently:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-i386.manifest
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/20150203.2/trusty-desktop-i386.manifest

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

It should also be noted that several other xserver-xorg-input packages are missing:
xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic 1:7.7+7ubuntu2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-mouse-lts-utopic 1:1.9.0-1build2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-utopic 1.8.1-1ubuntu1~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse-lts-utopic 1:13.0.0-1build2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-wacom-lts-utopic 1:0.25.0-0ubuntu1~trusty1

All of the above are present in Lubuntu 14.04.1:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/lubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.manifest

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

Does not affect PPC or AMD64:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-powerpc.manifest
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-amd64.manifest

[Lyn Perrine (walterorlin)]

find of the iso image for alti386.

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

yep they're all there. one can assume that this is ONLY an issue with i386 Desktop.

[Lyn Perrine (walterorlin)]

Apparently not all there as they are missing the *-utopic ones as for the lts there are the xorg-input and xorg-input-utopic packages.

[Lyn Perrine (walterorlin)]

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

the lts-utopic stack is still in trusty-proposed

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

then why does this only affect certain images? other images seem to
have the stack.

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

also evdev is a related branch, and yet it's appearing. don't think that's our problem.

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

i suspect this problem is related to Xubuntu's problem with extra packages:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1418377

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

Kylin also has a similar issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntukylin/+bug/1418351

[Mélodie (meets)]

Brendan Perrine's syslog contains interesting clues.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1417784/comments/13

“Feb 4 01:22:26 debconf-copydb: Cannot open file /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat-new: No such file or directory

“Feb 4 01:23:04 debootstrap: Preparing to unpack .../login_1%3a4.1.5.1-1ubuntu9_amd64.deb ...
Feb 4 01:23:04 debootstrap: dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version>”

and this one I have seen in my remixes, it should be possible to fix:
“Feb 4 01:25:48 in-target: W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192”

That's for a search on the chain "error". When it comes to "warning" there are a bunch. The very first one looks related to the hardware only though:

“Feb 4 01:19:01 kernel: [ 0.000000] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at /build/buildd/linux-lts-utopic-3.16.0/drivers/iommu/dmar.c:760 warn_invalid_dmar+0x81/0x93()

Feb 4 01:19:01 kernel: [ 0.000000] BIOS vendor: Hewlett-Packard; Ver: F.33; Product Version: Rev 1”

Then, the warnings are about files missing:

“Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/restricted/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/universe/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find multiverse/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages in /cdrom/dists/trusty/Release.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find multiverse/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz in /cdrom/dists/trusty/Release.”

later, about nefcfg looking for a wpa-supplicant pid file:
“Feb 4 01:19:44 netcfg[14971]: INFO: Starting netcfg v.1.116ubuntu2 (built 20140923-2000)
Feb 4 01:19:44 netcfg[14971]: WARNING **: Couldn't read Wpasupplicant pid file, not trying to kill.”

and some more warnings to be examined. Once these errors and warnings will have been reduced to their very minimum and hopefully harmless warnings, we will be very near to the release.

I have an idea about just a few specific packages which are missing and could help improve the general behavior. I'll try tomorrow and report back if I see a difference.

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Here is the AMD64 diff

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

Sorry. here is the corrected AMD64 diff without the version numbers

https://www.diffchecker.com/9rl29l79

[Dave Kokandy (drkokandy)]

Lars, is that amd64 diff for the live environment or the manifest of the alternate installer?

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

That would be for the Live DVDs

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

Please make sure to do the same for alternate.

Working on it

[Lars Noodén (larsnooden)]

PPC manifest difference between .1 and .2

[Dave Kokandy (drkokandy)]

Here is the difference between packages in the alternate install ISOs, amd-64, with Lubuntu 14.04.1 on the left and 14.04.2 on the right: https://www.diffchecker.com/2ixnc9ye

Found by mounting the alternate image and then doing `ls -R | grep "\.deb" | awk -F"_[0-9]" '{print $1}'` within the mounted directories.

[Walter Lapchynski (wxl)]

Word is the problems we and other flavors have been having is related to
switching from tasks (not packages) to metapackages. Adam Conrad (infinity)
is on it.
