cpatrick08I was on the Cd Image server and noticed their is a Ubuntu-Canary iso. I was wondering what the differences are between it and the regular Ubuntu Daily ISO.05:51

eoli3n23:19 xnox: eoli3n:  either you need to mount tmpfs as /target/run _before_ invoking in-target (it checks for that), or we need to adjust chromium-browser.preinst to test that we are not inside a chroot. Cause that's not somewhere where09:52
eoli3nsnapd can run.09:52
eoli3nyou need to checkin preinst, because i need some other things in /run to run ansible properly09:53
eoli3nif you have any more specific workaround ?09:54
xnoxeoli3n:  ack.10:08

dbungertdoko: looks like you're looking into dh-exec.  Do you want me to continue on this?14:31
dokodbungert: please do, I just tried to find the offending code, but don't know if it's safe to replace it14:33
dbungertdoko: will do, thanks14:34

GunnarHjHi doko, I'm about to change the symbols files for two C++ packages (opencc and marisa) to address FTBFS after LTO was turned on. Is that the right way to deal with it, or would disabling LTO be better?16:45

leftyfbI'm trying to backport a package from focal to xenial. Specfically wpa_supplicant 2.9. I can download the source on focal, compile it and it installs and runs fine on xenial. I'm trying to take that same source and get it into a PPA. The issue I'm running into is the build system complaining about debhelper-compat. I've tried setting it to "Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 9)," in the debian-control but that doesn't seem to work. Also, I18:08
leftyfbdid all this or porting wpa2.9 from focal to bionic and it all worked fine18:08
leftyfbI've also tried "Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (>= 9)," and "Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (>= 9~),". Neither of those seem to be valid for debhelper where the same syntax works fine on the other dependencies18:10
dbungertleftyfb: you may need to tweak debian/compat18:11
leftyfbI tried removing the debhelper-compat line from the control file completely and just adding a "9" to debian/compat, as the error message suggested. That seemed to make it angrier than normal. :)18:12
leftyfbdbungert: got any suggestions on how that file should look? BTW, it doesn't actually exist in the original source18:12
dbungertleftyfb: ah, 'echo 9 > debian/compat' was my assumption, sounds like something else is going on18:13
leftyfbthis is with it specified as "9" in both the control and compat files https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/gcgdfV5vr5/18:19
dbungertwell, it definitely seems unhappy about the value in both compat and control, so your original way in compat was probably fine.  Which sends you back to your original problem.18:25
RikMillsleftyfb: if you have 9 in debian/compat then set 'Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9)' in debian control?18:35
leftyfblet me try18:35
RikMillsthat is what most xenial packages will have18:37
leftyfbhttps://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/Pg4sWsyfD9/18:37
RikMillsyou didn't do what I said18:38
RikMillsdebhelper, not debhelper-compat18:38
leftyfboh18:38
leftyfbdo I remove/replace debhelper-compat?18:39
RikMillsrepleace with debhelper (>= 9)18:39
RikMillsas you still need debhelper as a build dep18:39
leftyfbok, that is working so far, pushing to LP. Next issue, got any fancy ways to do something like this (trying different things to push to PPA) so that I don't need to keep incrementing the version? Deleting says happens every 6 hours, yet after about 20 I'm still not able to upload (force) the same version with some changes18:41
RikMillsleftyfb: nope. once you use a version in a PPA, that version is 'burned' for future use permanently18:43
leftyfbboo18:43
leftyfbok, thanks18:43
RikMillsit is a security thing. bad actors can't silently replace packages with identical versions but different contents18:44
RikMillssame applies to the main archive18:45
leftyfbbuild failed18:48
leftyfbhttps://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/KgMH9TJxdk/18:48
leftyfbit's not clear to me what is wrong now18:48
leftyfbit looks like it might be related to the libnl-3-dev. I have specified version >= 3.2.27~ in the control file18:56
RikMillspossible that xenial has too old a glibc for that to compile19:02
leftyfbI can build a local .deb fine using the same source19:03
RikMillsbuild on xenial?19:04
leftyfbto be honest, I forget where I built it. It know I built it FOR xenial and it built and installs and works fine on it19:05
dokoGunnarHj: for a package in main, yes, update the symbols file. do you have a build log with the missing symbols? if it's in universe and you don't want to fix it, add it to the lto-blocklist package19:54
RikMillsdoko: I did some discussion in another place. package was marisa in universe. build with missing symbols was in your rebuild ppa I believe. a proposed symbols fix was https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/marisa/+sourcepub/12264722/+listing-archive-extra20:12
RikMillsbut I think doing optional=lto instead of complicated !arch changes would again be better20:14
RikMillsplus that personal ppa did not do riscv6420:14
* RikMills goes back to his pint of beer20:17
dokoRikMills: sure, I'm preferring optional=lto as well. But if it's universe and you don't want to fix things now, just add to the lto-blocklist20:59
RikMillsdoko: fair. I just don't want to postpone the inevitable for my ones22:04
bdmurrayRikMills: Why did you tag bug 1681830 hirsute? I don't see any indication in it that it affects hirsute.22:40

RikMillsbdmurray: because it does affect hirsute still, and I want it to show up in the filtered bug list to put on the kubuntu beta notes22:43
RikMillsit is only KDE front end that if affects22:43
RikMillsplus it is a reminder for me to try to look at it :(22:43
bdmurrayRikMills: Adding some details would have avoided this conversation. ;-)22:44
