Hello Simon, or anyone else affected, Accepted zfs-linux into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs- linux/0.8.3-1ubuntu12.2 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. ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880421 Title: zfsutils-linux fails to install if `modprobe zfs` fails Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in zfs-linux source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in zfs-linux source package in Groovy: Fix Released Bug description: == SRU Justification, Focal == Justification: Installing zfsutils with zfs modules not available causes the package to installation to fail. The package should install cleanly rather than break. == Test Case == # Prevent module loading $ sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1 # Install the package $ sudo apt install -y zfsutils-linux This should succeed. Without the fix this fails. (See below for the failure message). With the fix modules don't install but the package install succeeds. == Regression Potential == There may be users who expect the package to fail to install when the zfs utils fail to install when the modules are not available. However, this is a corner case where users are expecting broken behaviour to occur and should not be relying on this. The changes to the systemd rules are already in Ubuntu groovy and have been tested, so I believe the regression potential is limited. ---- Description: When installing zfsutils-linux, failure to `modprobe zfs` cause the package installation to fail. Ideally, modprobe should be attempted but not fatal. Steps to reproduce: # Prevent module loading $ sudo sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1 # Install the package $ sudo apt install -y zfsutils-linux This should succeed but fails with: Reading package lists...
