[Bug 1951399] Re: Ubuntu, Budgie, Kubuntu, Kylin, MATE, Xubuntu: jammy daily fails to install

[Robie Basak]

debianutils in Ubuntu Jammy now has tempfile restored (with a
deprecation warning) and the deprecation warning for which removed.
That's the only task I was working on, so I'm unassigning myself from
this bug. If this resolved this particular issue then this bug might be
marked as Fix Released, except that we don't know what the status of
which and tempfile will be in Ubuntu beyond Jammy. It may be the case
that depending components need to move away from tempfile and which in
the end anyway, in which case maybe the task should remain open.

Title:
  Ubuntu, Budgie, Kubuntu, Kylin, MATE, Xubuntu: jammy daily fails to
  install

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in ubiquity source package in Jammy:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubiquity crashes when user tries to run ISO QA testing by following
  the procedure from:

  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1300/info
  http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1305/info

  The actual result is the same: installer crashes with the following line in the syslog - "chroot: failed to run command ‘tempfile’" .
  Result does not depend on system type - happens on real hardware, QEMU, Virtualbox.

  This tempfile came from debianutils package until 20211105. Now it is
  missed.

  Expected result is completed bootable installation.
