Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-12-23 13:29:16 CET
See Bug #40045. The test case 80_docker/65_app_container_upgrade_dockerallowedimag fails because univention-upgrade aborts with an error directly after the upgrade from 4.0-4 to 4.1-0. The error message explains that the repository server can't be reached:

It seems to be only a short time in which the repository server could not be reached. From my point of view it is wrong to abort with an error in this case. It works directly if I start it again.

It is reproducible with this test case.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #40045 +++

The test case fails on all 4.1 roles:

Comment 3 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2016-01-19 17:30:05 CET
1. /etc/resolv.conf inside the Container contains this:
>nameserver  10.200.17.29
>nameserver  10.200.17.28
>nameserver  8.8.4.4
The Google NS will never be able to resolve my local DNS name, so adding it should be disabled.


2. That's looks like an error in *resolving* the name to an IP address via a DNS server.
It does *not* look like a bug in reaching the repository server itself, but read on.

(In reply to Stefan Gohmann from comment #0)
> The connection to the repository server failed: Configuration error: host is

> connection.

As you yourself have stated in Bug #40045 comment 1, `ping` has no problem reaching the server, as `ping` resolves the address once one startup and then uses that resolved address repeatedly in doing its ICMP-ECHO-REQUEST.


3. I get this:

This looks like the services inside the container are already stopped, while then they are still used.

Looking at /var/log/apache2/error.log on the host confirms this:

This is caused by r64198 of Bug #38807, which renamed "ssl" to "default-ssl", but didn't backport that change to "ucs-4.0/component/docker/" and removed the
>a2dissite ssl || true # TODO: remove, dev version

# apachectl configtest
>apache2: Syntax error on line 268 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl: No such file or directory
>Action 'configtest' failed.

# readlink /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ssl

# grep -n site.*ssl /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.p*
>/var/lib/dpkg/info/univention-apache.postinst:50:       a2dissite default-ssl || true
>/var/lib/dpkg/info/univention-apache.postinst:51:       a2ensite default-ssl || true
>/var/lib/dpkg/info/univention-apache.postinst:101:      a2ensite default-ssl || true

# docker run docker.software-univention.de/ucs-appbox-amd64:4.0-3 /bin/bash -c 'univention-install -qq -y --force-yes univention-apache &>/dev/null && grep -n site.*ssl /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.p*'
/var/lib/dpkg/info/univention-apache.postinst:47:a2ensite ssl || true

That thing is from "ucs-4.0/component/docker/univention-apache/", which creates the "ssl" site for testing purpose.
After the update of univention-apache from 4.1-0 that package is then broken.


4. There are two places, where "host is unresolvable" is thrown. The relevant is in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/univention/updater/tools.py
>463             if res.code in (httplib.BAD_GATEWAY, httplib.GATEWAY_TIMEOUT):  # 502 504
>464                 self.failed_hosts.add(req.get_host())
>465                 raise ConfigurationError(uri, 'host is unresolvable')

So actually the error is from Apache, which fails to contact the Apache inside the container.
Is when the *outside* Apache is forwarding that request like a proxy, an "BAD_GATEWAY" error is returned when the updater checks for additional updates just after it has upgraded to 4.1-0.
This explains the "strange" error message.
Comment 4 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2016-01-20 14:15:04 CET
r66895 | Bug #40338 docker: Rename ssl to default-ssl following Bug #38807
 Merge relevant part of r64268,r64198 to rename 'ssl' to 'default-ssl' in docker component for test image.

Package: univention-apache
Version: 7.0.17-3.257.201601201205
Branch: ucs_4.0-0
Scope: docker


announce_ucs_scope.py -s docker -r 4.0-0 -k /etc/archive-keys/ucs4.0.txt -K 6B8BFD3C -u --skip-tag -n
sudo update_mirror.sh ftp/4.0/unmaintained/component/docker


No YAML file needed as it's unmaintained:
# apt-cache policy univention-apache

        500 http://updates.software-univention.de/4.0/maintained/component/ 4.0-3-errata/all/ Packages


The real problem is this in univention-updater/python/univention-upgrade:
491 »···»···# check for new updates after updating ; update UCR variable
492 »···»···#
493 »···»···# BUG: After an release upgrade this process MUST NOT continue to use old python, ucr, u…
494 »···»···try:
495 »···»···»···update_available = performUpdate(options, checkForUpdates=True, silent=True)

The old updater from 4.0-4 is still running, but the updater.postinst from 4.1-0 changes 'repository/online/server' to '*https://*updates.software-univention.de/' iff it is 'updates.software-univention.de' before.
performUpdate() internally reloads the UCR and then tries to use that value as a *plain* host name, which fails.
This was not detected by our test, as we mostly use "univention-repository.knut.univention.de" and "upddates-test.software-univention.de" in our tests, which is not modified by the postinst script. (the docker images already uses the public FTP; switching our KVM images to it before doing the update to 4.1-0 also shows the bug; docker-4.1 has Bug #40430)

Configuring logging in the old updater confirms this:
> Running postup.sh script:done.
> 2016-01-20 12:24:48,668 INFO:updater.UCSHttp:Requesting http://https://updates.software-univention.de//univention-repository/

We need to fix that in 4.0-4, so that users hopefully already have the fixed version when they start updating to 4.1-0.
The fix also needs to be forward-ported to 4.1-0.

Branch: ucs_4.1-0
Scope: errata4.1-1

r67591 | Bug #40338 up: Re-execute after update YAML
 univention-updater.yaml

The are some semantic changes:
 The old-updater did:
 1. release updates (until the next minor/major version)
 2. package updates
 3. App updates
 4. repeat above with next minor/major release

 The new updater does:
 1. package updates, only then exec()
 2. App updates, only then exec()
 3. update to next patch-level/minor/major, then exec()
 Each exec() starts that loop again with 1.

This allows us to
1. provide errata updates first
2. fix apps before update
3. only then do updates

The problem is passing the state between re-executed updater processes: They share nothing and have to re-get the state from the system state. As such the updater always again start with 1. The updater only reaches 2. if there are no package updates. Same with 3.: Only when no package and App updates exist.

Another problem is that we need to fix the updater of 4.0-4 and 4.1-0 with errata. The update would still install the old (broken) updater from the non-errata repository. As such I propose releasing the updates for 4.0-4e and 4.1-0e with a version number higher than 4.1-1 (but lower than 4.1-1e): As such the new updater will be higher until 4.1-1e and will not get replaces by those broken ones from 4.1-0 and 4.1-1.
Or at leas the update for 4.0-4e should be 4.1-0 < x < 4.1-0e and the one for 4.1-0e should be x > 4.1-1.

After QA and deciding on the above this bug needs to be cloned for 4.0-4e and 4.1-0e (moving this to 4.1-1e)

Another minor change: --setucr can now be used without --check.
