** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Upgrade failures on Ubuntu Studio can result in the desktop metapackage + being removed. This is because ubuntustudio-desktop-core is not a known + metapackage in ubuntu-release-upgrader currently (it only knows about + ubuntustudio-desktop). + + [Test Plan] + + Create an Ubuntu Studio VM running 24.10. Then, perform an upgrade. + + Note that due to the fact that plucky is now released, but upgrades are + disabled, we cannot use the --proposed flag to test upgrades + conveniently. Instead, we need to manually download the tarball from + https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-proposed, unpack it, and run + the script. + + $ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/plucky-proposed/main/dist-upgrader-all/current/plucky.tar.gz + $ tar xf plucky.tar.gz + $ sudo -E ./plucky --frontend DistUpgradeViewText + + The upgrade should complete without errors, and should reboot into + plucky after the upgrade. Verify that ubuntu-release-upgrader recognizes + the metapackage: + + $ grep MetaPkgs: /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log + 2025-04-23 13:07:49,021 DEBUG MetaPkgs: ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-desktop-core + $ grep "Marking.*for upgrade" /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log + 2025-04-23 13:08:06,655 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntustudio-desktop' for upgrade + 2025-04-23 13:08:07,219 DEBUG Marking 'ubuntustudio-desktop-core' for upgrade + + [Where problems could occur] + + The patch adds ubuntustudio-desktop-core as a MetaPkg in DistUpgrade.cfg, and adds this package to the removal denylist. The metapackage will be marked for upgrade, which impacts the upgrade calculation. Hence, any problems as a result + would likely be related to upgrade calculation on Ubuntu Studio upgrades. + + [Original Description] + I attempted an in-place upgrade for Ubuntu Studio from Oracular to Plucky * The installation somehow marked ubuntustudio-desktop for autoremoval and it got removed, along with all dependencies and recommends.
