Request to backport sosreport v3.5

[Eric Desrochers]

[Impact]

Canonical support team (AKA STS) largely depend on sosreport package to troubleshoot system.

sosreport is always in constant development including new bugfixes, new features such as new plugins[1], .... that can be interesting to have in a support context.

v3.5 is already found in devel release (bionic). We create this LP in the attempt to justify the SRU of v3.5 backport into current supported stable releases.

[1] - New plugins for :
        * perl
        * boom
        * vdo
        * os_net_config
        * conntrackd
        * ovirt_imageio
        * nss
        * sas3ircu
        * openstack_aodh
        * docker_distribution
        * gluster_block
        * snappy

    Plugin API enhancements
        * Plugin triggers by executable name
        * Improved log size limit handling
        * Better handling of compressed log files
        * Per-plugin package verification lists

    Updates to 227 plugins

This will also allow us to close some sosreport LP bugs:
*Docker plugin uses the wrong command for Ubuntu (LP: #1693574)

[Test Case]

 * Install sosreport
   $ apt-get install sosreport

 * Run sosreport
   $ sosreport -a
   $ sosreport -o <PLUGIN>
   $ ...

 * Make sure it generate a tar.xz file in /tmp in the form of
   "/tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz"

 * Extract files from archive
   $ tar Jxvf /tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz

 * Look the content of sosreport, make sure the information is accurate and valid, ....

 * Make sure all files that should to be collected by sosreport aren't 0 size. (Files that should be collected may varies from one system to another, it depends on what packages are installed, ...)
   $ find /tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE> -size 0

# Note :
It is normal to see some 0 size files here and there, again it depend on how the plugin is run (package detection or not inside the plugins, ...) and if the package is installed or not on the system where you run sosreport. But in most cases, if the package is installed and if sosreport has a plugin for it then it should gather information, if not then it might be a problem with the plugins itself that need adjustments.

[Regression Potential]

 * autopkgtest[2] didn't reveal any
[2] - See Comment #1

 * We,STS, have intensively tested the package.

During our testing, we found a severe regression that we already took action to fix it via :

- Upstream issue - https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/1155
- Debian bug - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883537
- Fix Released in Ubuntu Devel release (bionic) via debdiff : lp1734983_bionic.debdiff

[Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley)]

Found a severe regression in that it appears many packages = lines no longer work which prevent automatic package detection. Bionic is also affected.

This in an upstream issue and investigating is ongoing.

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

I can reproduce the situation as well with sosreport upstream and v3.5 debian package that I have built for pre-SRU testing.

Example:
Plugin such as [acpid], [boot], ... are no longer running with 'sosreport -a' even if "packages=" are installed.

Let's put the SRU on hold until we or upstream figure this out.

- Eric

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

Seems like something is broken in the "package=" mechanism behaviour.
The no longer running plugins that we have identified coincide with recent package add commit :

18ab068 [dbus] add missing packages list
3d0ea25 [cron] add missing packages list
0348833 [acpid] add missing packages list
....

After a bisect the upstream offending commit is :
82e4ee2 [sosreport] add per-plugin package verification lists

- Eric

[Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley)]

Upstream issue - https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/1155

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

Here's the debdiff fixing the regression found by Bryan Quigley.

I talked with the SRU team and it is okay to proceed with the upload of this fix in Devel and Stable release if waiting too long for upstream to merge.

In this case, the fix will likely be merge in April 2018 for v3.6, and by then we might be in a freeze period for 18.04. So let's make sure we have an healthy sosreport (v3.5) package before 18.04 get release.

- Eric

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

v3.5 sponsored for AZXT, waiting for SRU verification team to approve to start building in -proposed.

- Eric

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

For SRU,

I have already contacted sil2100 that should take care of it, but just in case of someone else have a look at the upload and wonder why there is 2 uploads for the same thing.

I have uploaded the sosreport package twice for each release because I forgot to add the (LP: #XXXX) syntax in the d/changelog.

For this reason, I have to upload the package a second time (keeping the same version).

Feel free to reject the less recent upload and proceed with the most recent ones for AZXT.

Regards,
Eric

[Eric Desrochers (slashd)]

sil2100 has rejected the first upload and kept the second which include the (LP: #XXXXX) syntax in d/changelog.

Things are a bit blocked everywhere. Accepting the uploads now will do nothing as we have no builders. sil2100 will review the uploads later when there will be some builders available.

I tested installing the new package in trusty, xenial, zesty and artful in LXD containers. I ran sosreport with the -a option and I didn't notice any errors. Made a few spot checks. LGTM.
