[Bug 1361595] Re: OSError: [Errno 25] Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Jamin W. Collins]

Chris,

I may be looking in the wrong area, but from the provided link I can
only find three binaries built for amd64
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/2.18.8.4/+build/6716449):

Binary packages
Binary packages produced by this build:

ubiquity 2.18.8.4
ubiquity-frontend-debconf 2.18.8.4
ubiquity-frontend-gtk 2.18.8.4
Built files
Files resulting from this build:

ubiquity-frontend-debconf_2.18.8.4_amd64.deb (437.8 KiB)
ubiquity-frontend-gtk_2.18.8.4_amd64.deb (84.5 KiB)
ubiquity_2.18.8.4_amd64.deb (4.9 MiB)

However the file in question (/etc/init/oem-config-debconf.conf) is
owned by oem-config-debconf, which is not one of the built packages.
Furthermore, this is only one of several issues preventing the oem-
config package from working on server installations.

Bug description:
  With 14.04, I've found that oem-config no longer prompts end users for
  their final configuration details.  In fact, the system reboots
  abruptly and no longer has the oem user account.

  From the contents of /var/log/oem-config.log (below), it appears that
  oem-config is throwing an unhandled exception, exceeding its maximum
  retries (5), and then purging itself from the system.  I've reproduced
  this with a fresh 14.04 OEM install.

  This is definitely a regression from the 12.04 release.
