http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105992 Bug ID: 1105992 Summary: Transactional-Update broken in snapshot 20180824 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kubic Assignee: iforster@suse.com Reporter: rbrown@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de CC: kubic-bugs@opensuse.org Found By: --- Blocker: --- 0824 introduced transactional-update 2.6 https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Factory/transactional-update?linkrev=base&rev=32 It's failing all tests and appears to be displaying incorrect behaviour https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/742638#step/transactional_update/57 Compared to 0822 I'm noticing the following differences: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/741289#step/transactional_update/57 (note: the code for the test does not appear to have changed: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests... ) Update test #2 is meant to be a no-op, because it should be updating when there is nothing to do In 0822 the pointless `cleanup up` test produced the following logs:

# Result: Checking for newer version. transactional-update 2.6 started Options: cleanup up Separate /var detected. Adding cleanup algorithm to snapshot #6 Adding "important=yes" to snapshot #6 zypper: nothing to update transactional-update finished trup-0-

In 0824 the exact same test produces the following logs:

# Result: Checking for newer version. transactional-update 2.6 started Options: cleanup up Separate /var detected. Adding cleanup algorithm to snapshot #6 Adding "important=yes" to snapshot #6 /usr/sbin/transactional-update: line 760: [: too many arguments Creating read-only snapshot of current system state (#8) Copying /etc state into snapshot /.snapshots/9/snapshot Copying /etc state into snapshot /.snapshots/10/snapshot Calling zypper up Loading repository data... Reading installed packages...

Nothing to do. Trying to rebuild kdump initrd Please reboot your machine to activate the changes and avoid data loss. transactional-update finished trup-0-

I find the following lines in 0824 suspicious, leading me to the questions below:

/usr/sbin/transactional-update: line 760: [: too many arguments

Why does txl-upd now complain about too many arguments?

Creating read-only snapshot of current system state (#8) Copying /etc state into snapshot /.snapshots/9/snapshot Copying /etc state into snapshot /.snapshots/10/snapshot

Why does txl-upd make 3 snapshots (8, 9, 10) even when there is nothing to do? Why does txl-upd make 2 snapshots for /etc? (This is less suspicious, I'm just curious) Bug marked as Major because it makes all of Kubics tests red ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
