These are the steps to reproduce the test failure: lxc launch ubuntu-daily:questing sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources # add deb-src and questing proposed to the primary mirror
sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/99proposed # Add the content: Package: * Pin: release a=questing-proposed Pin-Priority: 1001 sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y sudo apt install build-essential devscripts sudo apt remove coreutils-from-gnu --allow-remove-essential apt source openvswitch cd openvswitch-3.5.1 sudo apt build-dep . -y debuild -us -uc --------------- The key step is: sudo apt remove coreutils-from-gnu --allow-remove-essential When using gnu coreutils the build succeeds. It seems like this is a well known issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/coreutils/+bug/2115033 and has even been patched upstream: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/8336 I've rebuilt the rust-coreutils package after cherry-picking the above PR and including it as a distro series patch in d/p see PPA: https://launchpad.net/~bryanfraschetti/+archive/ubuntu/rust- coreutils/+packages After installing rust-coreutils from the PPA the build succeeds (see attached build log and manifest). Essentially the build-failure is a result of a rust-coreutils bug, which is a regression introduced by the replacement of gnu coreutils. According to juliank's comment a few days ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/coreutils/+bug/2115033/comments/3 the patch will be brought into questing images (seemingly shortly), though it is currently blocked on some missing messages. Will we need to block the SRU on this? ** Attachment added: "openvswitch_3.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.build" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/2109823/+attachment/5892929/+files/openvswitch_3.5.1-0ubuntu1_amd64.build -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2109823 Title: [SRU] openvswitch 3.3.4 (noble) 3.5.1 (plucky/questing) point release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-archive/caracal/+bug/2109823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
