[Bug 2046459] Re: systemd-gpt-auto-generator is omitted since 253.5-1ubuntu5 resulting in boot failure

[Nils K]

This says fix commited though it seems to be neither available in
mantic-updates nor in noble? This is annoying as we have to resort to
installing 253.5-1ubuntu4 manually from the old repository archives and
prevent updates of it

Title:
  systemd-gpt-auto-generator is omitted since 253.5-1ubuntu5 resulting
  in boot failure

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I have my system set up to rely on GPT auto generator together with
  Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS). After upgrading my system
  the gpt generator is no longer included resulting in boot failure.

  I have been able to workaround this by setting up the mounts in fstab but that is unsatisfactory.
  Furthermore I work on an embedded device which uses Ubuntu as a base and relies on the GPT auto generator. In this case it is not possible for me to switch back to an old fstab file as we rely on some autodiscovery possible only with DPS.

  Even though it is not used by the default installation, I kindly
  request to revert a366279a84730e92ed734710560ea833709f359d. Even
  though the default does not require it does not mean that no one else
  does. Also the generator binary fairly small at a few dozen KB so not
  much is gained from omitting it.
