Problem was that the commented variant only was a new, $dist-security
one, but is also written if the security repo is disabled with other
distributions than sid/unstable.
fix update-grub chroot silent failure
While it probably would be nicer to mount it at the beginning and umount it at the end, we have too many hooks already doing this and changing this seems a bigger task.
This reverts most code, but not the implemented functionality of
commit 2fba5cb90e30f2bfab07782c9fa3b99275e769da.
Requiring a config file change to still be able to install old
distributions would make a bump of the major version necessary
according to Semantic Versioning. Let's avoid that:
The list of distributions with the old path scheme is finite and will
never change again. Hence it's ok and especially backwards compatible
to hardcode this list in hooks/debian/20-setup-apt.
It's also less and more obvious (but not necessarily easier to read)
code. But it's all in one place and not scattered over three files.
And it's just one line instead like a dozen or two dozens.
Closes: #972749 (kinda again)
From Debian 11 Bullseye onwards, debian uses $dist-security instead of
$dist/updates as distribution part in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Mark those distributions with the old-style subdirectory path with
"security-subdir" in distributions.conf.
Thanks to Paul Wise for the bug report (and hence reminding me of
this) and for the suggestions on how to implement this (even if I
didn't follow them for the sake of simplicity and no additional
dependencies).
Closes: #972749
Since Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, Ubuntu has decided to use netplan instead
of ifupdown.
40-setup-networking-deb-netplan has been contributed by Arno and Peter.
(see https://github.com/xen-tools/xen-tools/issues/51#issuecomment-412019510)
Closesxen-tools/xen-tools#51.
Since we have to make a variant of hooks/karmic/ as hook/artful/,
rename hooks/karmic/80-install-kernel (which previously was unique to
hooks/karmic/) to hooks/common/80-install-kernel-ubuntu and add
symlinks to it from hooks/karmic/ and hook/artful/.
Older APT releases bail out on unknown commandline options like
"--no-install-recommends", but accept any Foo=Bar setting to their
"-o" option.
Using -o APT::Install-Recommends=false instead of
--no-install-recommends in common.sh's installDebianPackage allows to
use some of the default hooks to be used unmodified again for older
Debian releases, e.g. Etch.
