16.04.7

This is a brief summary of bugs fixed between Ubuntu 16.04.6 and 16.04.7. This summary covers only changes to packages in main and restricted, which account for all packages in the officially-supported CD images; there are further changes to various packages in universe and multiverse. Some of these fixes were by Ubuntu developers directly, while others were by upstream developers and backported to Ubuntu. For full details, see the individual package changelogs.

In addition to the bugs listed below, this update includes all security updates from the Ubuntu Security Notice list affecting Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS that were released up to and including August 6, 2020. The last update included was USN-4453-1 (OpenJDK 8 vulnerabilities).

Installation bug fixes

Updated CD images are provided with this release, including fixes for some installation bugs. (Many installation problems are hardware-specific; for those, see "Hardware support bugs" below.)

console-setup

1824227

setupcon: use /run for tempfiles (and dump the various unnecessary fallback paths), since /run is always mountable rw at least as early as /tmp is and is guaranteed to be safe from tmpcleaners at boot. Only keep /tmp as a fallback in case we have access to write to /tmp and to a console, but not to /run

Upgrade bug fixes

These changes fix upgrade issues, smoothing the way for future upgrades to later releases of Ubuntu.

unattended-upgrades

1778219

Trigger unattended-upgrade-shutdown actions with PrepareForShutdown() Performing upgrades in service's ExecStop did not work when the upgrades involved restarting services because systemd blocked other stop/start actions making maintainer scripts time out and be killed leaving a broken system behind. Running unattended-upgrades.service before shutdown.target as a oneshot service made it run after unmounting filesystems and scheduling services properly on shutdown is a complex problem and adding more services to the mix make it even more fragile. The solution of monitoring PrepareForShutdown() signal from DBus allows Unattended Upgrade to run _before_ the jobs related to shutdown are queued thus package upgrades can safely restart services without risking causing deadlocks or breaking part of the shutdown actions. Also ask running unattended-upgrades to stop when shutdown starts even in InstallOnShutdown mode and refactor most of unattended-upgrade-shutdown to UnattendedUpgradesShutdown class.

unattended-upgrades

1778219

Increase logind's InhibitDelayMaxSec to 30s. This allows more time for unattended-upgrades to shut down gracefully or even install a few packages in InstallOnShutdown mode, but is still a big step back from the 30 minutes allowed for InstallOnShutdown previously. Users enabling InstallOnShutdown node are advised to increase InhibitDelayMaxSec even further possibly to 30 minutes.

unattended-upgrades

1803749

Stop using ActionGroups, they interfere with apt.Cache.clear() causing all autoremovable packages to be handled as newly autoremovable ones and be removed by default. Dropping ActionGroup usage does not slow down the most frequent case of not having anything to upgrade and when there are packages to upgrade the gain is small compared to the actual package installation. Also collect autoremovable packages before adjusting candidates because that also changed .is_auto_removable attribute of some of them. (Closes: #910874)

unattended-upgrades

1789637

Unlock for dpkg operations with apt_pkg.pkgsystem_unlock_inner() when it is available. Also stop running when reacquiring the lock fails. Thanks to Julian Andres Klode for original partial patch

unattended-upgrades

1781586

Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests. Python-apt has a new build dependency making the rebuilding as is failing and the reference handling issue is worked around in unattended-upgrades already.

unattended-upgrades

1785093

Stop trying when no adjustment could be made and adjust package candidates only to lower versions

unattended-upgrades

1785093

Skip already adjusted packages from being checked for readjusting. This makes it clearer that the recursion ends and can also be a bit quicker.

unattended-upgrades

1260041

Stop updating the system when reacquiring the dpkg system lock fails.

unattended-upgrades

unattended-upgrades

1778800

Skip starting init.d script in debhelper-generated postinst part

unattended-upgrades

1781176

Fixed is_pkgname_in_blacklist to be side-effect free. Otherwise 'is_pkgname_in_blacklist' mutates the 'pkgs_kept_back' and 'unattended-upgrades' treats the package as a blacklisted candidate

unattended-upgrades

1602536

unattended-upgrades: fix Unlocked context manager. The Unlocked context manager did correctly unlock but did not reacquire the lock which means that in minimal-upgrade step mode it is possible to run apt code without a lock. If something else (like landscape, apt, synaptic, packagekit) locks the cache in the meantime this will work and u-u will get dpkg errors because dpkg will not be able to perform its operations. It is less of an issue in non-minimal mode, but even then the auto-remove step may fail in this way.

unattended-upgrades

1775292

Fix adjusting candidates

unattended-upgrades

1602536

Relock apt lock before reopening the cache

unattended-upgrades

unattended-upgrades

1737717

Make unattended-upgrade-shutdown exit with error when apt config is invalid

unattended-upgrades

1577215

Stop asking debconf question about Origins-Pattern. 50unattended-upgrades now contains multiple origins by default and setting them from debconf can't be made really easy. Users should change the configuration file itself instead.

unattended-upgrades

1741579

Add UbuntuESM to the list of sources automatically upgraded from by default

unattended-upgrades

1654600

Complete the solution for the unattended-upgrades.service unit not correctly working :

unattended-upgrades

1654600

The systemd unit needs to be an ExecStop since it is is activated on shutdown. Otherwise, it will get scheduled after completion of the local-fs.target. In the case where /var is a separate filesystem, unattended-upgrade-shutdown will hang until timeout since /var/run is expected but no longer there

unattended-upgrades

1654070

When performing a sanity check for packages to install or upgrade return false when either there are no packages in the cache or the package to upgrade is not in the change set.

unattended-upgrades

1544942

Do not mark packages for deletion / autoremoval if unattended-upgrades is being run in dry-run mode.

unattended-upgrades

1823872

Detect changes to moved conffiles

unattended-upgrades

1823872

Detect unchanged moved conffiles. When a package moves a conffile properly without any change no conffile prompt needs to be shown thus the package can be upgraded unattended.

unattended-upgrades

1821103

Skip sending email when no package had to be installed, upgraded or removed (Closes: #924554)

unattended-upgrades

1824341

Make sure autoremovals don't start with a dirty cache and remove other packages

unattended-upgrades

1824341

Continue applying minimal sets when one set can't be marked for upgrade. Thanks to Anderson Luiz Alves for the patch, it needed minor modifications

unattended-upgrades

1824876

Stop raising NoAllowedOriginError when marking packages to upgrade/install fails

unattended-upgrades

1824804 1824949

Adjust only transitive dependencies in the fallback when a package from an allowed origin can't be marked to install/upgrade. This is a much lighter approach than marking every upgradable package because the full fallback was triggered on packages held back as well, using an excessive amount of CPU time. Also it crashed with packages not having any version in allowed origins.

unattended-upgrades

1824804

Skip trying to upgrade held packages in call_adjusted()

unattended-upgrades

1825886

Don't crash collecting transitive dependencies when package has no candidate

unattended-upgrades

1826157

Use mark_install_adjusted() in rewind_cache() The original cache had packages marked with adjustments thus rewinding should also do adjustments to reach the same state. Also not using mark_install_adjusted() crashes when apt raises error on held packages.

unattended-upgrades

1795696

do_auto_remove() is successful unless a commit() operation fails

unattended-upgrades

1820888

Compare apt.package.Version objects and not the versions' string representation. This prevented adjusting candidates when the strings sorted differently. Also extend tests to catch issue.

unattended-upgrades

1821101

Fall back to adjusting more packages' candidates when a package from an allowed origin can't be marked to install/upgrade.

Instead, fix up /dev/ptmx to be a character device node rather than a symlink to /dev/pts/ptmx, in line with the discussion in https://bugs.debian.org/817236; I think this is safer than cherry-picking the fix to debootstrap at this point in a stable release cycle .
