This package is needed by ubuntu-advantage-tools for cloud images
only. u-a-t ultimately will drop this entirely in their next release.
(cf: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-client/issues/2692)
So instead of putting this in the seeds and then having to deal
with the seed changes to Mantic (after its release) and SRU of
ubuntu-meta, I'd rather have changes in livecd-rootfs done. Once
python3-systemd dependency is dropped from u-a-t, we'll drop it
from livecd-rootfs in Mantic+, too.
fuse3 was previously installed through recommends but with minimized images we no longer install recommends packages.
It is only required when preseeding snaps so does not need to be present in all minimized images so does not
need to be in the cloud-minimal seed.
As a result of not installing recommended packages the packages required to run `grub-install`
are no longer installed by default.
To ensure we can successfully run `grub-install` we install both `grub-pc` and `grub2-common`
packages.
As a result of not installing recommended packages we have dangling symlink `/boot/initrd.img.old`
As per the preceding `/boot/initrd.img` cleanup. Cleanup of `/boot/initrd.img.old`
only happens if it is a dangling symlink.
These `rm` commands also have `--verbose` flags now to make it easier when debugging logs
For minimized images we do not want to install any recommended packages.
We can do this by setting APT::Install-Recommends to false in apt config
or by passing --no-install-recommends to apt-get install.
While attempting to run autopkgtest locally, the test stops at the
following command:
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C ubuntu_vagrant_insecure_key -b 4096 -f
/tmp/tmp.VuAfnsBv1G/vagrant_insecure_key
This is found in live-build/ubuntu-cpc/hooks.d/base/vagrant.binary
It appears to be waiting for a passphrase, as running that outside of
adt gives a more helpful "Enter passphrase" prompt.
Explicitly set the passphrase to empty with the `-N` argument.
Armhf images install the `generic-lpae` kernel, while other ARCHes use the
standard `generic` kernel when building the "virtual" image flavour.
Code was looking for a kernel binary ending with -generic in armhf
builds, and failed. Add a special condition to handle armhf builds'
kernel ending with `generic-lpae`

During Realtime kernel image build, there was an error during
validating snap seed which derivative images copied 5.19
apparmor feature and can't validate when Realtime kernel (5.15)
installed [0].
To prevent this, bind correct apparmor feature with kernel
version.

With the switch to the ubuntu-cloud-minimal seed, we
don't really need to purge anything now. On the contrary,
the purging of packages if not installed, fails with the
exit code of 100.
