2019-01-31 08:40:34 Balint Reczey description This concerns unattended-upgrades 0.90 in Xenial. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail report sent out by u-u after the upgrade process is completed: Package installation log: Log started: 2016-07-06 17:24:21 Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... (Reading database ... 5% (Reading database ... 10% (Reading database ... 15% (Reading database ... 20% (Reading database ... 25% (Reading database ... 30% (Reading database ... 35% (Reading database ... 40% (Reading database ... 45% (Reading database ... 50% (Reading database ... 55% (Reading database ... 60% (Reading database ... 65% (Reading database ... 70% (Reading database ... 75% (Reading database ... 80% (Reading database ... 85% (Reading database ... 90% (Reading database ... 95% (Reading database ... 100% (Reading database ... 314949 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../tzdata_2016f-0ubuntu0.16.04_all.deb ... Unpacking tzdata (2016f-0ubuntu0.16.04) over (2016d-0ubuntu0.16.04) ... Preparing to unpack .../libgimp2.0_2.8.16-1ubuntu1.1_i386.deb ... All but the last "Reading database ..." line should be elided from the message. As a matter of fact, those lines do not appear in messages mailed out from current Trusty systems (u-u version 0.82.1ubuntu2.4), so this appears to be a regression. [Impact] * Unattended-upgrades sends the following repeating dpkg progress lines with almost no informational value in the email report: ... (Reading database ... (Reading database ... 5% (Reading database ... 10% (Reading database ... 15% (Reading database ... 20% (Reading database ... 25% (Reading database ... 30% (Reading database ... 35% (Reading database ... 40% (Reading database ... 45% (Reading database ... 50% (Reading database ... 55% (Reading database ... 60% (Reading database ... 65% (Reading database ... 70% (Reading database ... 75% (Reading database ... 80% (Reading database ... 85% (Reading database ... 90% (Reading database ... 95% (Reading database ... 60486 files and directories currently installed.) ... * This makes the report email too verbose and makes harder to spot real problems. [Test Case] * Run package autopkgtest and observe no such lines in the echoed email in upgrade-all-security and upgrade-between-snapshots tests. [Regression Potential] * The fix filters dpkg's output only and in the worst case other lines could be missing or u-u could crash. Since the applied hard-coded regex pattern is fairly simple and we observed no crashes in the tests those regressions are unlikey to occur. [Originial Bug Text] This concerns unattended-upgrades 0.90 in Xenial.
