univention-updater: univention-list-installed-unmaintained-packages finds "unmaintained" packages on new UCS5 installations
Last modified: 2021-12-20 09:35:15 CET
In its current state the tool "univention-list-unmaintained-installed-packages" finds unmaintained packages on new UCS5 installations. The tool has to be adjusted so it does not have that false behaviour anymore.

No, not the tool, (a) update the maintained list and/or (b) prevent the installation of these packages see also https://jenkins.knut.univention.de:8181/job/UCS-5.0/job/UCS-5.0-0/job/CheckMaintainedList/ currently the tools find these packages libcephfs2 rrdtool ifplugd notification-daemon libradcli4 liblouisutdml-bin python-sqlalchemy librte-gro18.11 librte-bbdev18.11 librte-rawdev18.11 libgconf-2-4 librte-power18.11 gsfonts libgrpc++1 librte-ring18.11 librte-mempool18.11 libgfxdr0 libhiredis0.14 libdbi1 libboost-thread1.67.0 liblouisutdml8 libc-ares2 librte-kvargs18.11 librte-table18.11 librte-acl18.11 dpt-i2o-raidutils libatasmart4 librte-ip-frag18.11 librte-security18.11 libxencall1 libieee1284-3 libnet-snmp-perl librte-efd18.11 libopenipmi0 default-jre-headless libibverbs1 librte-latencystats18.11 libboost-regex1.67.0 librte-eal18.11 librte-cryptodev18.11 libsnmp-session-perl python3-sqlalchemy univention-admingrp-user-passwordreset libglusterfs0 univention-nagios-squid libyajl2 policycoreutils libftdi1-2 memtest86+ libprotobuf17 libxengnttab1 librte-reorder18.11 owfs-common libesmtp6 librte-member18.11 libowcapi-3.2-3 librte-compressdev18.11 libxentoollog1 libxenevtchn1 libxenforeignmemory1 librte-lpm18.11 libboost-atomic1.67.0 librabbitmq4 libfile-copy-recursive-perl librte-hash18.11 libtokyocabinet9 libow-3.2-3 libxentoolcore1 ibverbs-providers libvarnishapi2 librte-pipeline18.11 univention-nagios-s4-connector libmosquitto1 java-common librte-bpf18.11 libgphoto2-6 librte-pdump18.11 libnss-mdns libsane libvirt0 univention-nagios-samba librte-flow-classify18.11 librte-bitratestats18.11 intel-cmt-cat librrd8 librte-kni18.11 libconfuse2 python-sqlalchemy-ext python3-markdown libnotify4 gconf2-common librte-ethdev18.11 python3-sqlalchemy-ext libupsclient4 libxenstore3.0 libgusb2 librte-timer18.11 libgphoto2-l10n librte-sched18.11 librte-port18.11 sysstat libxenmisc4.11 libexif12 librte-gso18.11 univention-nagios-cups libgrpc6 libdaemon0 librte-pci18.11 libconfuse-common openjdk-11-jre-headless libgfrpc0 monitoring-plugins-common univention-nagios-client liboping0 libtokyotyrant3 nagios-nrpe-server python-egenix-mxdatetime libgphoto2-port12 libtcmalloc-minimal4 libmodbus5 librdkafka1 sane-utils python-egenix-mxtools monitoring-plugins-standard libgoogle-perftools4 librados2 libsane-common libboost-iostreams1.67.0 ca-certificates-java univention-nagios-common librte-distributor18.11 libmicrohttpd12 libboost-system1.67.0 librte-vhost18.11 librte-metrics18.11 monitoring-plugins librte-eventdev18.11 libriemann-client0 librte-meter18.11 libmcrypt4 librte-jobstats18.11 librte-telemetry18.11 libganglia1 libi2c0 librte-net18.11 librte-cmdline18.11 libxendevicemodel1 librte-cfgfile18.11 libgps23 monitoring-plugins-basic liblouisutdml-data librte-mbuf18.11 libgfapi0 There are some package (e.g. univention-nagios-common) that should no longer be installed, once we removed these package we can decide what to do with the rest
There are still some "unmaintained" package on a new installation -> univention-list-installed-unmaintained-packages The following packages are unmaintained: gconf2-common gsfonts ifplugd libdaemon0 libdbi1 libfile-copy-recursive-perl libgconf-2-4 libmcrypt4 libnet-snmp-perl libradcli4 libsnmp-session-perl linux-image-4.19.0-14-amd64 memtest86+

The ISO will ever contain the latest image. Depending on if a newer ISO has been built with a newer Linux kernel it will either list the OLD or NEW kernel as then unmaintained.

Those "Recommends" are NOT part of dependency resolution, which only follows "[Pre-]Depends" (the historical reason for this to minimize the ISO size). As USS sometimes runs AFTER the online repository has already been enabled (this is the case for our internal KVM images) if any of those "recommending" packages are installed they will pull in those "Recommended" packages too as they are now available from our online repository: There we no longer distinguish between maintained and unmaintained, so all packages from Debian are available from there. All of those packages can be removed later one without breaking any UCS functionality: univention-list-installed-unmaintained-packages | tail -n +2 | xargs apt purge --assume-yes

Yes appliance_preinstall_non_univention_packages was introduced to speed up the install process, but the package list is outdated for UCS 5 anyway. Its okay to remove it for now.
[5.0-0] 3b0a9bee61 test: Skip appliance_preinstall_non_univention_packages test/utils/base_appliance.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) To get rid of those packages listed as unmaintained we must build and release - a new ISO image - new KVM images - new VirtualBox images - new EC2 AMI This will only happen earliest with the next point release UCS 5.0-1. A new ISO already was built from the current errata scope: <https://jenkins.knut.univention.de:8181/job/UCS-5.0/job/UCS-5.0-0/job/BuildDVD/198/> That ISO already includes the missing packages `gsfonts` and `memtest86+`: vimdiff <(isoinfo -f -R -i mirror/ftp/download/ucs-cds/ucs5.0-0/UCS_5.0-0-amd64.iso) <(isoinfo -f -R -i isotests/ucs_5.0-0-20210603-224506-dvd-amd64.iso)
From @edamrose: After upgrading from 5.0-0 to 5.0-1 the following packages where shown as unmaintained: gconf2-common ifplugd libdaemon0 libdbi1 libfile-copy-recursive-perl libgconf-2-4 libmcrypt4 libnet-snmp-perl libradcli4 libsnmp-session-perl See my comment 6: our internal KVM images are dirty, e.g. 5.0-0 so any update will be dirty, too. My new installation from UCS 5.0-1.iso was clean.

UCS 5.0-1 has been released. https://docs.software-univention.de/release-notes-5.0-1-en.html If this error occurs again, please clone this bug.
bin:libradcli1 from src:radcli and bin:libdbi1 from src:libdbi are still listed as unmaintained as triggers/ucs_5.0-0-ucs5.0-1.txt listed them by *source* package name instead of *binary* package name. <https://jenkins.knut.univention.de:8181/job/Mitarbeiter/job/phahn/job/CalculateMaintained/191/console> The next erratum upload for 5.0-1 will include this updated list.
