xfsprogs,jfsutils missing from install / live CD, can not use XFS,jfs during installation

[Michael Lueck]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Recent daily builds of Lucid have errored trying to format partitions as xfs. Today we tracked that problem down to the absence of mkfs.xfs which in turn indicated that package xfsprogs is missing on the install / LiveCD.

Indeed "dpkg -l | grep xfs" only returns x11-xfs-utils and not xfsprogs

Please get xfsprogs back in the install / LiveCD image and let me know when I should download another daily to re-test this problem.

Thanks!

Confirming, and jfsutils are also missing from the live images.

Seed fixes committed; the first daily after RC (unless we respin, which seems unlikely for this bug?) should include these packages again.

>>the first daily after RC should include these packages again.

What does that mean? Should the packages be in tomorrow's daily?

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Daily builds are disabled while we prepare the release candidate, which is due out tomorrow all being well. At some point soon after that, daily builds will be re-enabled.

[Michael Lueck (mlueck)]

Thanks for the explanation Colin.

So did this fix make it into the RC release then since it does not sound like it is done yet?

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

It's done (in that there's nothing more we need to do except for
respinning the CDs), but the RC images had already been built and were
well into testing by the time we saw your bug so this fix won't be in
the RC.

[Michael Lueck (mlueck)]

Completely understood now. Thank you for your explanations of what goes on behind the curtain! :-)

[Michael Lueck (mlueck)]

Being the impatient type, I used my 20100419.1 LiveCD, added the Lucid package of xfsprogs, and the installation went through beautifully. Now on to other testing.

[Michael Lueck (mlueck)]

Fix confirmed for the xfs filesystem with the 20100426.1 iso build.
