[Pkg-ganeti-devel] Bug#834404: ganeti-instance-debootstrap - uses unsupported losetup -s in default config

[Bastian Blank]

Package: ganeti-instance-debootstrap
Version: 0.14-2
Severity: grave
Tags: jessie

ganeti-instance-debootstrap in Jessie uses "losetup -s", which is not
supported by the shipped losetup version or any newer.  In Stretch it
was fixed to use "--show".

| # If the target device is not a real block device we'll first losetup it.
| # This is needed for file disks.
| if [ ! -b $blockdev ]; then
|   ORIGINAL_BLOCKDEV=$blockdev
|   blockdev=$(losetup -sf $blockdev)
|   CLEANUP+=("losetup -d $blockdev")
| fi

This makes the debootstrap os definition unusable in the default config,
as losetup is used to access non-blockdevices.

|       Result: 
|         - OpExecError
|         - - Could not install OS for instance 'instance.example.com' on node 'node.example.con': 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).
|       Execution log: 
|         - Time: 2016-08-15 10:57:33.882253
|           Content: [1, message,  - INFO: Running instance OS create scripts...]

Please fix in Jessie.
