[Bug 1570029] Re: [Regression] busybox-initramfs package cannot be installed on 16.04 for s390x

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Hehe, you are quick.

We have noticed this regression shortly after sysconfig 0.0.13ubuntu3
was published, a fix for this issue is in 0.0.13ubuntu4, which is built
but not yet published by launchpad. It should appear on the mirrors
shortly. Approximately 30-45minutes time.

sysconfig (0.0.13ubuntu4) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Clean obsolete directories without failing.

Title:
  [Regression] busybox-initramfs package cannot be installed on 16.04
  for s390x

Status in sysconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Installer version: 446
  Kernel: 4.4.0.18
  Description/Reproduction: During an installation test I found out, that there is a problem when trying to install Ubuntu. I tried various constellations, i.e. VM with DASD, LPAR with SCSI and with DASD. The result is the same. 
  The installation fails with "Debootstrap warning. Warning: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times" After that, the installer says "Unable to install busybox-initramfs. An error was returned while trying to install the busybox-initramfs package onto the target system."

  I will attach the log files of my various installation attempts.

  Hi Luciano, if you mean by "regression", if it has worked before? Then yes. 
  My guess is that it is not a problem of the installer but a problem of this package "busybox-initramfs".
