[Bug 1807750] Re: Use of 'sudo' without dependency on 'sudo' package

[Brian Murray]

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-image into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-
image/1.6+16.04ubuntu1 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-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: ubuntu-image (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

  Use of 'sudo' without dependency on 'sudo' package

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Recently we have backported the ubuntu-image ubuntu-core build support in livecd-rootfs in xenial. Thanks to this we are now able to build ubuntu-core 16 images using SUITE=xenial.
  Sadly, in comparison to other series, the xenial ubuntu-image has additional logic used when preparing ext4 partitions due to an old mkfs.ext4 which is missing all the needed functionality. This additional logic (or hack) requires running a `sudo cp` to copy the rootfs contents onto the partition. The launchpad builders do not have 'sudo' installed by default. When attempting to verify bug #1799736 it was found that the build would fail when 'sudo' could not be found. The python3-ubuntu-image package should depend on 'sudo'

  [Test Case]

  The best test case would be to see if ubuntu-core SUITE=xenial
  (core16) images still fail to build due to sudo not being available
  after the package lands in xenial-proposed.

  [Regression Potential]

  The change is only a dependency addition so it should not have any
  real consequences. All systems so far had sudo by default, so no users
  will see any side-effects (and those that do, they couldn't use
  ubuntu-image anyway).
