[Bug 2109823] Re: [SRU] openvswitch 3.3.4 (noble) 3.5.1 (plucky/questing) point release

[Bryan Fraschetti]

These are the steps to reproduce the test failure:

lxc launch ubuntu-daily:questing
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources
# add deb-src and questing proposed to the primary mirror

sudo vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/99proposed
# Add the content:
Package: *
Pin: release a=questing-proposed
Pin-Priority: 1001

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install build-essential devscripts
sudo apt remove coreutils-from-gnu --allow-remove-essential
apt source openvswitch
cd openvswitch-3.5.1
sudo apt build-dep . -y
debuild -us -uc

---------------

The key step is:
sudo apt remove coreutils-from-gnu --allow-remove-essential

When using gnu coreutils the build succeeds. It seems like this is a well known issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/coreutils/+bug/2115033

and has even been patched upstream:
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/8336

I've rebuilt the rust-coreutils package after cherry-picking the above
PR and including it as a distro series patch in d/p see PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~bryanfraschetti/+archive/ubuntu/rust-
coreutils/+packages

After installing rust-coreutils from the PPA the build succeeds (see
attached build log and manifest).

Essentially the build-failure is a result of a rust-coreutils bug, which
is a regression introduced by the replacement of gnu coreutils.
According to juliank's comment a few days ago:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/coreutils/+bug/2115033/comments/3 the patch
will be brought into questing images (seemingly shortly), though it is
currently blocked on some missing messages. Will we need to block the
SRU on this?

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
  supported customers have access to these improvements.

  The update contains the following package updates:

     * openvswitch 3.3.4 (noble)
     * openvswitch 3.5.1 (plucky and questing)

  For more details see:

     * https://www.openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-3.3.4.txt
     * https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/compare/v3.3.0...v3.3.4

     * https://www.openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-3.5.1.txt
     * https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/compare/v3.5.0...v3.5.1

  It will include [1], [2] and [3] which can thereby be dropped from the
  delta. This removes all the patches in debian/patches folder.

  [Test Case]

  The following SRU process was followed:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates

  In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
  run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
  -proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
  proposed packages can be let into -updates.

  The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
  executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
  this has happened.

  [Regression Potential]
  In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
  aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.
