[Andy Whitcroft]

Hello Oliver, or anyone else affected,

Accepted live-build into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-
build/3.0~a57-1ubuntu25.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Description changed:

+ Impact: core builds fail
+ 
+ Fix: simplify demotion removals
+ 
+ Testcase: rebuild ubuntu core snap and confirm build
+ 
+ Regression Potential: low as builds do not work at the current time
+ 
+ ====
+ 
  the fix for bug 1668847 seems to cause a removal of systemd-sysv (and
  installation of upstart) in the ubuntu core snap builds, which makes teh
  build fail now.
  
  a log of the last successful build of the core snap:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/313520770/buildlog_snap_ubuntu_xenial_amd64_core_BUILDING.txt.gz
  
  a log of a current failing build:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/313704330/buildlog_snap_ubuntu_xenial_amd64_core_BUILDING.txt.gz
  
  it removes locales properly but then tries to also remove systemd-sysv
  in the lb_chroot_archives step

** Changed in: live-build (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Fix Committed
