15:12 <bdmurray> I should retest this with the old systemd so will
15:13 <mclemenceau> I will card this

15:15 <bdmurray> That's the one of which I'm thinking
15:15 <cpaelzer> mclemenceau: hi I made it out of the other calls - if I might interrupt in which section do I want to talk about mine?
15:16 <mclemenceau> it's coming soon cpaelzer
15:16 <bdmurray> well let's card this and comment in the existing card about this bug
15:17 <mclemenceau> ok carded!

15:19 <Laney> Heather's trying to reproduce
15:20 <bdmurray> Okay so can we let it wait Laney?
15:20 <Laney> would be good if d_oko or whoever and Heather could work together
15:20 <bdmurray> d_oko is out for a while
15:20 <Laney> ah ok
15:20 <xnox> Laney:  yeah, ideally we'd want preprocessed source of a "small" binary (if there is any), the binary, and the coredump / traceback?
15:20 <Laney> I know
15:20 <Laney> but the first step is reproducing it at all
15:20 <xnox> and yes d o k o is out for 2 weeks =/
15:20 <Laney> come back to it next week
15:20 <bdmurray> Will do thanks
15:20 <bdmurray> Okay cpaelzer its your turn
15:21 <cpaelzer> hehe
15:21 <cpaelzer> thanks
15:21 <mclemenceau> I tagged this one this morning bug 1892358 not showing on the report yet
15:21 <ubottu> bug 1892358 in systemd (Ubuntu) "autopkgtest success rate dropped inhibiting proposed migration" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1892358
15:21 <cpaelzer> I was this morning trying to catch rbalint for systemd autopkgtest fail-rate
15:21 <cpaelzer> but learned that he's unavailable atm
15:21 <cpaelzer> thanks mclemenceau for the bug
15:22 <cpaelzer> I only wnated to ask if someone here could take a look so that we have a second opinion
15:22 <xnox> cpaelzer:  that looks like a normal / good pass rate
15:22 <xnox> i mean, it used to be way worse
15:22 <cpaelzer> xnox: 10/10 last tests failed
15:22 <cpaelzer> if that is normal I maybe should change expectations :-)
15:22 <cpaelzer> I just want to avoid retrying on aveagre ~20 times per test per arch
15:23 <xnox> at one point i spent more than a year with migrating systemd based on a superset of multiple test runs.
15:23 <xnox> i.e. there tests passed in this run, that test pasted in that run, and that one i will try to fix next time.
15:23 <xnox> and next time something else regressed.
15:23 <xnox> i agree with the sentiment.
15:23 <cpaelzer> yeah, but for now in groovy we have to do something
15:23 <cpaelzer> "tests-in-lxd" and "systemd-fsckd" droped below an acceptable rate
15:23 <xnox> however we just landed new upstream release, and it usually does regress a lot.
15:24 <cpaelzer> I remember xnox last time you worked on itit was fsckd as well and boot-smoke or something like that
15:24 <xnox> fsckd one is being fixed in bileto already, that was assigned and was worked last week / this week.
15:24 <cpaelzer> xnox: yes 246 seems to have made it worse
15:24 <xnox> lxd => is related to snapd & networkd regressions that are being fixed in snapd
15:24 <xnox> so there are things that are known and worked on too.
15:24 <cpaelzer> fsckd of the last three days are all bad, does this fix need to land first?
15:25 <cpaelzer> do you have a bug on the snapd/network bug I could track?
15:25 <juliank> g
15:25 * juliank typo
15:25 <cpaelzer> initially all I asked was "are these knowns and are there bugs I could track" to if you know them let me know the urls
15:25 <xnox> cpaelzer:  please stand by whilst i try to find those two fixes
15:26 <bdmurray> cpaelzer: if xnox gives you bugs / something to watch will you be happy?
15:26 <xnox> cpaelzer:  https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/3801 has fixes for fsckd & networkd
15:27 <xnox> cpaelzer:  see https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_39a8dbb93caf4ec889f8a1b7f69885db/bileto-3801/2020-08-20_11:08:36/groovy_systemd_packaging_changes.diff
15:27 <xnox> which should improve/fix/resolve the lxd & fsckd tests.

15:36 <vorlon> looking much better this week :)
15:37 <vorlon> lapack, blocked by an autopkgtest on a revdep
15:37 <vorlon> sil2100: would you like this?
15:37 <sil2100> Sure!
15:37 <vorlon> google-compute-engine-oslogin is rbalint's
15:37 <waveform> I've got lapack at the mo
15:37 <sil2100> ...then I guess not!
15:38 <sil2100> ;)
15:38 <xnox> but there is also lapack ftbfs
15:38 <vorlon> oh was this carry-over?
15:38 <xnox> so it's all three of us?
15:38 <sil2100> waveform: continue working on it then, thanks o/
15:38 <vorlon> sil2100: you're off the hook
15:38 * sil2100 won for the second time today
15:39 <vorlon> pam is mine because assigned to me for ftbfs, but I'm not messing with the autopkgtests on the current version in -proposed because I'm prepping a new upstream version for Debian
15:39 <vorlon> dnspython: sil2100: you can have this one
15:40 <vorlon> gdbm: autopkgtest failure on i386, this one's never been investigated since we made i386 compat-only
15:40 <vorlon> would anyone like to take a look at this or is it going to default to me like all the i386 stuff? :)
15:40 <vorlon> oh I uploaded it
15:40 <vorlon> so it defaults to me anyway ;)
15:40 <xnox> i was gonna say.....

15:41 <vorlon> ok gdbm is mine
15:41 <vorlon> sensible-utils: bdmurray?
15:41 <xnox> on slyon? the sync was his request to fix ftbfs
15:41 <vorlon> plymouth vs systemd, rbalint already has a fixed staged for that AIUI
15:41 <bdmurray> inconceivable!
15:41 <vorlon> xnox: which one?
15:41 <xnox> autodep8 was mine, but i am failing to comprehend why ti's failing.
15:41 <xnox> vorlon:  slon => sensible-utils
15:42 <vorlon> ok, sensible-utils to slyon, not bdmurray
15:42 <vorlon> xnox: do you want to keep it or hand it off?
15:42 <xnox> so i want to give up autodep8 to someone else please

15:43 <juliank> (libgitlab-api-v4-perl)
15:43 <juliank> yeah
15:43 <juliank> I need to talk to lintian folks about that anyway
15:43 <vorlon> dput: xnox?
15:43 <juliank> it also fails in normal lxd containers
15:43 <xnox> ok
15:43 <vorlon> actually
15:44 <vorlon> that's really setuptools
15:44 <vorlon> xnox: you ok to take setuptools?
15:44 <xnox> i thought +1 was bootstrapping lintian to be fair
15:44 <xnox> vorlon:  sure
15:44 <vorlon> sqlite3
15:44 <juliank> dput is .. just a timeout
15:44 <Laney> I am bootstrapping lintian, I am not dealing with the autopkgtest failure or the component-mismatch atm
15:44 <xnox> ah, ok, thanks.
15:44 <juliank> (in some cleanup hook)
15:45 <vorlon> juliank: ok if lintian is no work for you because Laney, can you take sqlite3?
15:45 <Laney> noooo, please keep the autopkgtest at least :p
15:45 <vorlon> oh :)
15:45 <vorlon> then who wants sqlite3?
15:45 <vorlon> I think everyone's been assigned one
15:45 <vorlon> so who's hungry for seconds
15:45 <juliank> So lintian is fine, but sqlite3 is that a gcc-10 bug?
15:45 <Laney> (the MIR you can reply to my question in #-release to determine if there's work required)
15:45 <juliank> /tmp/autopkgtest.4tqIue/build.vxn/src/debian/tests/run-unit-tests: line 29:  1275 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) hyphy "$i"
15:46 <xnox> hyphy is a pile of code that is fragile, it could be hyphy buggy too
15:47 <juliank> move on?
15:47 <vorlon> and that's the list
15:47 <vorlon> bdmurray:
15:48 <bdmurray> #topic AOB
15:48 <juliank> I'm mornings-mostly next week
15:48 <juliank> And DebConfing
15:48 <juliank> I don't how distracting DebConf online will be
15:48 <xnox> and LinuxPlumbers
15:48 <bdmurray> So bug 1798369 I've heard some comments that we should get rid of this and I'd like some reasons
15:48 <ubottu> bug 1798369 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Reinstall Ubuntu (with preserving existing data) shows error message due to "Could not get lock /target/var/cache/apt/archives/lock"" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1798369
15:49 <juliank> There are bugs every release cycle about it and nobody really gives it much testing
15:50 <bdmurray> which it though? The restore packages option or the whole reinstall option?
15:51 <juliank> restore packages
15:51 <juliank> I want to keep $HOME, but not try to reinstall packages that were installed
15:51 <xnox> so, restoring packages indeed doesn't quite make sense
15:52 <juliank> maybe save an apt-clone tarball in /var/log
15:52 <xnox> restoring snaps might, but i don't know if we preserve /var/lib/snapd
15:52 <bdmurray> hey let's not make new features!
15:53 <bdmurray> Okay, I'll discuss with the desktop team about removing the restore packages option.
15:54 <bdmurray> anything else?
15:54 <bdmurray> okay, thanks everybody
