[Bug 1960457] Re: Please remove lupin from the archive

[Thomas]

What we mean is to boot an ISO like this:

menuentry "Ubuntu 22.04 ISO" {
  set iso_path=/path/to/jammy-desktop-amd64.iso
  loopback loop ${iso_path}
  linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=${iso_path} boot=casper --
  initrd (loop)/casper/initrd
}

This works for all versions <= 21.10.

For Jammy this does not work anymore, because with lupin-casper also the
iso-scan/filename handler (scripts/casper-premount/20iso_scan) was
removed.

Thus, every attempt ends with the error message:
Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

Title:
  Please remove lupin from the archive

Status in lupin package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  lupin is an Ubuntu native package that was used to facilitate WUBI
  installs of Ubuntu. However, WUBI is no longer a product Canonical
  produces or supports and subsequently we don't need to be keeping
  lupin around. Nothing depends on the source package or its binaries.

  [  1:30PM 11986 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r jammy src:lupin
  [  1:30PM 11987 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]
   $ reverse-depends -r focal src:lupin
  [  3:22PM 11993 ]  [ bdmurray at impulse:~/Downloads ]

  Having said that livecd-rootfs does try and install lupin-casper when
  building Ubuntu images but that is cruft but may need to be removed
  from livecd-rootfs before the package is removed.
