[Bug 2081684] Re: Things depending on libmount1 complain MOUNT_2_40 not found

[Paul Mars]

** Description changed:

- I have upgraded to the oracular beta yesterday on my home machine. After
- upgrading I started to notice errors issued by libgio that MOUNT_2_40
- could not be found despite having libmount1 2.40.2 installed as part the
- upgrade.
+ In April 2024, while handling the t64 transition and dealing with the XZ
+ attack, several versions of the util-linux package were
+ uploaded/deleted/replaced in the proposed pocket. At one point, the
+ package installed the libmount1t64 binary but this was quickly rolled
+ back. Still, approx. between 2024-04-18 and 2024-04-23, machines using
+ the proposed pocket could installed libmount1t64. In this situation,
+ upgrading now to Oracular (using the proposed pocket or not) would not
+ remove this binary, and thus confusing other binaries/lib trying to use
+ libmount1. In this situation we recommend to first remove this binary
+ before updating/upgrading.

  I have tried using a live environment and chrooting to reinstall
  libmount1, util-linux and libglib2.0 and libc6 packages as recommended
  on the arch forums (only arch users seem to have encountered this before
  me). The reinstalls were successful but the error message did not go
  away when I tried to run nmcli or other libgio using programs.
  
  Please give this a look since it might break many people's machines
  trying the beta like I tried to do.

Title:
  Things depending on libmount1 complain MOUNT_2_40 not found

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In April 2024, while handling the t64 transition and dealing with the
  XZ attack, several versions of the util-linux package were
  uploaded/deleted/replaced in the proposed pocket. At one point, the
  package installed the libmount1t64 binary but this was quickly rolled
  back. Still, approx. between 2024-04-18 and 2024-04-23, machines using
  the proposed pocket could installed libmount1t64.

  In this situation, upgrading now to Oracular (using the proposed
  pocket or not) would not remove this binary, and thus confusing other
  binaries/lib trying to use libmount1.

  In this situation we recommend to first remove this binary before
  updating/upgrading.
