[00:44] <JEBjames> is the alternate installer broken due to the busybox tar changes?
[00:44] <JEBjames> e.g. EXTRACT_UNSAFE_SYMLINKS=1 needed?
[00:45] <wxl> JEBjames: hm? are you actually experiencing some problems?
[00:45] <JEBjames> Daily on December 4+5 breaks with "chroot /target dpkg-deb -f /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.19.0.4ubuntu1_amd64.deb Version" failing
[00:45] <JEBjames> because ld-linux-86-64.so.2 is not in /target/lib64
[00:46] <wxl> stupid question, but you did check the hashes, right?
[00:46] <JEBjames> I checked sha256.
[00:46] <wxl> and you did this on a vm?
[00:46] <JEBjames> yes.
[00:46] <wxl> which one?
[00:46] <JEBjames> Oddly the 32bit version for the 5th worked for me.
[00:46] <JEBjames> Tried with VirtualBox.
[00:46] <wxl> wth
[00:46] <JEBjames> I installed an older version (Novemeber 11 daily) and it works fine.
[00:47] <RedWolf[m]> is Telegram down?
[00:47] <wxl> @tsimonq2: ^
 I can see this.
[00:48] <wxl> RedWolf[m]: guess it's just you.
[00:48] <wxl> JEBjames: could you try the desktop version and see if you have the same issue?
[00:49] <RedWolf[m]> wxl, it's odd, neither the laptop or the mobile connect. but everything else seems working fine
[00:49] <JEBjames> wxl: I will install the desktop.
[00:50] <wxl> JEBjames: if that suceededs, then you might want to check ubuntu server. that's the only other version using d-i
[00:51] <JEBjames> wxl: ok.
[00:52] <JEBjames> p.s. thanks.
[01:13] <JEBjames> wlx: lubuntu desktop 2017 Dec 05 works.
[01:13] <JEBjames> wlx: ubuntu server 2017 Dec 05 fails to install.
[01:13] <JEBjames> chroot: can't execute 'dpkg-divert': No such file or directory
[01:14] <JEBjames> same problem of /target/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is missing causes chroot error.
[01:14] <wxl> JEBjames: excellent!!! could you file a bug against debian-installer, please?
[01:15] <wxl> bonus points if you mark on the iso tracker :)
[01:15] <wxl> the bad news for us is when we have a problem but server doesn't, because, like i said, no one else uses d-i
[01:24] <JEBjames> wlx: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1736309
[01:24] <JEBjames> already marked it yesterday, was just checking here to get extra advice on testing (thank you)
[01:24] <wxl> thx JEBjames i won't get to it right away but i'll check into it further
[01:26] <JEBjames> I thought maybe it was the busybox change not extracting over symlinks ... but it looks like the 386 version uses the same version of busybox as the 64 so not sure if that is why it doesn't copy over some files?
[03:15] <JEBjames> wlx: looks like on server Novemember 30th works, but December 4th fails.  Hopefully that helps narrow the search.
[19:08] <wxl> lynorian_next: you around at all?
[19:41] <lynorian_next> yes
[19:41] <lynorian_next> wxl what do you want?
[19:44] <wxl> lynorian_next: you capable of doing some vm testing?
[19:45] <lynorian_next> maybe in a bit what do you want me to test
[19:45] <wxl> i'm concerned about this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+bug/1736309
[19:46] <wxl> so ideally i'd like to start by confirming results
[19:46] <lynorian_next> that does sound critical if I can confirm it
[19:47] <wxl> indeed
[19:47] <wxl> note it seems to affect server too
[19:47] <wxl> but oddly not i386
[19:50] <lynorian_next> ok I did not have an alternate amd64 iso so got zsync now
[19:50] <wxl> k thx man
[19:51] <wxl> i'm going to get this machine at work rebuilt sooner or later XD
[19:51] <wxl> i was going to do it last night but was just unenthused :(
[19:57] <lynorian_next> wow this zsync is taking forever
[20:31] <lynorian_next> wxl I confirmed it
[20:31] <wxl> lynorian_next: can you also confirm it in server and confirm that neither lubuntu-alternate nor server are effected in i386?
[20:45] <lynorian_next> checking server i386 next
[20:51] <wxl> thx lynorian_next
[21:10] <lynorian_next> ugh this is nasty I think I ran into another critical bug on i386 server
[21:11] <agaida> i386 is a nasty bug
[21:15] <agaida> or in nicer words - i386 isn't the much loved architecture anymore
