[Pkg-ganeti-devel] Bug#771411: ganeti-instance-debootstrap: Uses deprecated losetup commands

[Paul van Tilburg]

Package: ganeti-instance-debootstrap
Version: 0.14-2
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream

Dear Maintainer,

When setting up a VM using the debootstrap+default OS, the create script
uses losetup commands that fail:

  # gnt-instance add -o debootstrap+default -s 5G vm1

  Failure: command execution error:
  Could not add os for instance vm1.domain.tld on node vmhost.domain.tld: OS create script failed (exited with exit code
  1), last lines in the log file:
   -O, --output <cols>           specify columns to output for --list
   -n, --noheadings              don't print headings for --list output
       --raw                     use raw --list output format

   -h, --help     display this help and exit
   -V, --version  output version information and exit

  Available --list columns:
           NAME  loop device name
      AUTOCLEAR  autoclear flag set
      BACK-FILE  device backing file
       BACK-INO  backing file inode number
   BACK-MAJ:MIN  backing file major:minor device number
        MAJ:MIN  loop device major:minor number
         OFFSET  offset from the beginning
       PARTSCAN  partscan flag set
             RO  read-only device
      SIZELIMIT  size limit of the file in bytes

  For more details see losetup(8).

It appears this is a known issue and has already been fixed, see also:

I patched the files and confirmed that I can now create VMs using debootstrap+default.

I am new to Ganeti so I don't know if this breaks this package for all
usages or just mine, so I left the priority set to important.

Cheers,
Paul
