[Bug 1963725] Re: subiquity curtin apt-get update fails

[Wyllys Ingersoll]

I have same issue with 20.04.4, seems that the /etc/apt/sources.list
file in the target is causing problem:

If I manually run the curtin command in the install shell (after the
install fails), like this:


/snap/subiquity/3119/usr/bin/python3.8 -m curtin --showtrace -vvv in-target /tmp/tmpu55eq13/mount/ -- apt-get update

The error appears as:
E - Conflicting values set for Check-Date regarding source-file file:///cdrom/ focal.
E - the list of sources could not be read.


The /etc/apt/sources.list in the target looks like:
deb [check-date=no] file:///cdrom/ focal main restricted

If I manually remove the [check-date=no] from the sources.list, it
succeeds.

Title:
  subiquity curtin apt-get update fails

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CI/CD pipeline was functional until I switch over to using 20.04.4
  ISO. When it gets to Curtin in-target apt-get update, it crashes with
  error code 100. Google has not been useful in providing an answer. I
  checked NTP on the ESXi host, and it is synced. Attached is the
  subiquity crash report.
