Public bug reported: When generating the d/changelog entries germinate-update-metapackage compares the "old" (pre-update) dependencies to the "new" ones, and checks if packages have been added or removed. However if a package is seeded more than once, it will always appear as an "added" dependency, even if already present in the "old" dependencies, and no actual change is made.
This is due to the fact that germinate_update_metapackage.py stores the "old" dependencies in a set (duplicates not allowed), and "new" dependencies in a list (duplicates allowed). For an actual case where this was hit see: https://code.launchpad.net/~paride/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+git /ubuntu-meta/+merge/394577 Also see how the changelog line * Added wpasupplicant to desktop-raspi appears more than once in the ubuntu-meta changelog. ** Affects: germinate (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Paride Legovini (paride) Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905987 Title: germinate-update-metapackage: wrong handling of seed duplicates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/germinate/+bug/1905987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
