Hi Arif, Thanks for checking and confirming the locale changes are unrelated!
I suspected the locale difference were unrelated, but wanted a closer look and clear understanding of why, before uploading, to ensure our changes to Bionic demonstrate the required care to request an upload in the exception criteria (to the Ubuntu archive for an ESM release). I looked into this a bit more, and tracked these "new" locale files to a behavior change in pkgstriptranslations (src:pkgbinarymangler) if running on a PPA (do not strip), so the locale files are kept: `INFO: Disabling pkgstriptranslations for PPA build` So, for the regular/archive build (non-PPA), we expect the locale files not to be present (as their strip should happen), therefore their delta should drop -- and only expected changes would remain. I confirmed this on a local build, by setting 'enable: true' in `/etc/pkgbinarymangler/striptranslations.conf` and building the package. The 'Disabling ... for PPA build' line is not present, nor are the locale files: $ dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc 2>&1 | tee ../build.log $ grep pkgstriptranslations ../build.log INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 138.18.04.2 pkgstriptranslations: processing sosreport (in debian/sosreport); do_strip: 1, oemstrip: pkgstriptranslations: preparing translation tarball sosreport_4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.2_amd64_translations.tar.gz...done $ dpkg-deb -c ../sosreport_4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.2_amd64.deb | grep locale $ Uploading to Bionic. cheers, Mauricio ... https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/en/man1/pkgstriptranslations.1.html This script also removes all gettext *.mo files below <pkg-build- dir>/usr/share/locale from all built binary packages. ... $ curl -sL 'https://launchpadlibrarian.net/627169149/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.sosreport_4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz' -o - | zcat >old.log $ curl -sL 'https://launchpadlibrarian.net/735903734/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.sosreport_4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.2_BUILDING.txt.gz' -o - | zcat >new.log $ grep pkgstriptranslations old.log new.log old.log:INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 138.18.04.1 old.log:pkgstriptranslations: processing sosreport (in debian/sosreport); do_strip: 1, oemstrip: old.log:pkgstriptranslations: preparing translation tarball sosreport_4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64_translations.tar.gz...done new.log:INFO: pkgstriptranslations version 138.18.04.2 new.log:INFO: Disabling pkgstriptranslations for PPA build -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2038648 Title: package sosreport 4.4-1ubuntu0.18.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: installed sosreport package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sosreport/+bug/2038648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
