`ubuntu-drivers list-oem --package-list` is broken

[Iain Lane]

This is the call Ubiquity is making to decide what OEM packages to install.

With the current focal-updates version

root@ubuntu-drivers-common-test:~# apt policy ubuntu-drivers-common
ubuntu-drivers-common:
  Installed: 1:0.8.6.3~0.20.04.2
  Candidate: 1:0.8.6.3~0.20.04.2

Usage: ubuntu-drivers list-oem [OPTIONS] [LIST_OEM]...
Try "ubuntu-drivers list-oem -h" for help.

Error: no such option: --package-list

With the focal release version:

root@ubuntu-drivers-common-test:~# ubuntu-drivers list-oem --package-list=/tmp/foo
root@ubuntu-drivers-common-test:~#

I think it'd be good to have an autopkgtest covering this when fixing it

This is a release blocker for 20.04.2 - let's get this fixed ASAP!

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.8.6.4~0.20.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Created a fresh focal multipass instance, confirmed that the bug is present:

$ ubuntu-drivers list-oem --package-list=/tmp/foo
Usage: ubuntu-drivers list-oem [OPTIONS] [LIST_OEM]...
Try "ubuntu-drivers list-oem -h" for help.

Error: no such option: --package-list
$

Then upgraded to -proposed (ubuntu-drivers-common 1:0.8.6.4~0.20.04.1) and re ran the same command:

$ ubuntu-drivers list-oem --package-list=/tmp/foo
$

So I guess it's better than it was at least.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.8.6.4~0.20.04.1

---------------
ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.8.6.4~0.20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium

  * ubuntu-drivers:
    - Don't error out when failing to write to /run without
      root privileges (LP: #1913651), since package
      installation will fail later.
    - Restore "--package-list" for list-oem, which was supported
      but accidentally not exposed in the transition to click.
      (LP: #1914051).

The version of ubuntu-drivers-common in the proposed pocket of Bionic that was purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days) fashion.
