[Bug 1779406] Re: Pollinate missing from xenial minimal images

[Steve Langasek]

Hello Francis, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into xenial-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-
rootfs/2.408.34 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!

Title:
  Pollinate missing from xenial minimal images

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in livecd-rootfs source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Pollinate will not be present in the xenial minimal images when first
  booted and the random number seeding that it performs will be absent.

  [Test Case]

  Boot an unmodified xenial minimal image from date serial 20180628 or
  older (for example [1]). Run `apt-cache policy pollinate` and note
  that it is not installed.

  [1] http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/minimal/daily/xenial/20180628/

  [Regression Potential]

  The regression risk should be very minimal. The only change being made
  here is to not remove the vim-common package, which keeps pollinate in
  place. Pollinate is already present in the base cloud images and all
  bionic images (including minimal).

  [Other Info]

  This change was tested by doing a full build of all ubuntu-cpc images
  in launchpad.
