several packages missing or added in Lubuntu 14.04.2 manifests

installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-utopic: seems to make my scrollwheel function so it seems to work now but I don't know why it is not in the manifest.

It should be noted that it's not missing in the Ubuntu manifest, so this is a problem only affecting Lubuntu, apparently:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-i386.manifest
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/20150203.2/trusty-desktop-i386.manifest

It should also be noted that several other xserver-xorg-input packages are missing:
xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-utopic 1:7.7+7ubuntu2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-mouse-lts-utopic 1:1.9.0-1build2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-utopic 1.8.1-1ubuntu1~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse-lts-utopic 1:13.0.0-1build2~trusty1
xserver-xorg-input-wacom-lts-utopic 1:0.25.0-0ubuntu1~trusty1

All of the above are present in Lubuntu 14.04.1:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/lubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-i386.manifest

Does not affect PPC or AMD64:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-powerpc.manifest
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/trusty/daily-live/20150203/trusty-desktop-amd64.manifest

find of the iso image for alti386.

yep they're all there. one can assume that this is ONLY an issue with i386 Desktop.

Apparently not all there as they are missing the *-utopic ones as for the lts there are the xorg-input and xorg-input-utopic packages.

status from failed alternate installer.

hardware summary.

This bug has been reported on the Ubuntu ISO testing tracker.

A list of all reports related to this bug can be found here:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1417784

the lts-utopic stack is still in trusty-proposed

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html

then why does this only affect certain images? other images seem to
have the stack.

also evdev is a related branch, and yet it's appearing. don't think that's our problem.

i suspect this problem is related to Xubuntu's problem with extra packages:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1418377

Kylin also has a similar issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntukylin/+bug/1418351

Brendan Perrine's syslog contains interesting clues.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1417784/comments/13

“Feb 4 01:23:04 debootstrap: Preparing to unpack .../login_1%3a4.1.5.1-1ubuntu9_amd64.deb ...
Feb 4 01:23:04 debootstrap: dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version>”

and this one I have seen in my remixes, it should be possible to fix:
“Feb 4 01:25:48 in-target: W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192”

That's for a search on the chain "error". When it comes to "warning" there are a bunch. The very first one looks related to the hardware only though:

“Feb 4 01:19:01 kernel: [ 0.000000] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at /build/buildd/linux-lts-utopic-3.16.0/drivers/iommu/dmar.c:760 warn_invalid_dmar+0x81/0x93()

Feb 4 01:19:01 kernel: [ 0.000000] BIOS vendor: Hewlett-Packard; Ver: F.33; Product Version: Rev 1”

Then, the warnings are about files missing:

“Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/restricted/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: File /cdrom/dists/trusty/universe/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages does not exist.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find multiverse/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages in /cdrom/dists/trusty/Release.
Feb 4 01:19:14 cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find multiverse/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz in /cdrom/dists/trusty/Release.”

later, about nefcfg looking for a wpa-supplicant pid file:
“Feb 4 01:19:44 netcfg[14971]: INFO: Starting netcfg v.1.116ubuntu2 (built 20140923-2000)
Feb 4 01:19:44 netcfg[14971]: WARNING **: Couldn't read Wpasupplicant pid file, not trying to kill.”

and some more warnings to be examined. Once these errors and warnings will have been reduced to their very minimum and hopefully harmless warnings, we will be very near to the release.

I have an idea about just a few specific packages which are missing and could help improve the general behavior. I'll try tomorrow and report back if I see a difference.

Here is the AMD64 diff

https://www.diffchecker.com/jt3yjtl8

Sorry. here is the corrected AMD64 diff without the version numbers

https://www.diffchecker.com/9rl29l79

Lars, is that amd64 diff for the live environment or the manifest of the alternate installer?

That would be for the Live DVDs

Please make sure to do the same for alternate.

Working on it

PPC manifest difference between .1 and .2
https://www.diffchecker.com/qp9xyh7b

Here is the difference between packages in the alternate install ISOs, amd-64, with Lubuntu 14.04.1 on the left and 14.04.2 on the right: https://www.diffchecker.com/2ixnc9ye

Found by mounting the alternate image and then doing `ls -R | grep "\.deb" | awk -F"_[0-9]" '{print $1}'` within the mounted directories.

Word is the problems we and other flavors have been having is related to
switching from tasks (not packages) to metapackages. Adam Conrad (infinity)
is on it.

Adam worked his magic. :)
