Description

During the 2.6 release process, this script failed with E: missing snapshot detected (repositories/torproject/dists/tor-experimental-0.2.8.x-jessie/snapshots/2016091502), because repositories/torproject/dists/tor-experimental-0.2.8.x-jessie exists but that suite is obsolete, not sync’ed anymore, and thus not in the current APT snapshot this script was fed with.

I did rm -rf dists/tor-experimental-0.2.8.x-jessie and I expect this to fix the problem. But we need some way to either clean up such cruft automatically, or to hint us into doing it whenever we remove a suite from the list of those that our time-based snapshots fetch from.

Thankfully we don’t remove suites very often, so this should not happen a lot.

  • Priority changed from Normal to Elevated

A similar problem happens when a suite has been added to our time-based snapshots config, but wasn’t in the time-based snapshot used when building the manifest passed to tails-prepare-tagged-apt-snapshot-import.

This class of problems caused issues during two releases in a row, so I’m bumping priority.

#2 Updated by intrigeri 2016-11-13 12:51:32

  • Status changed from Confirmed to In Progress
  • % Done changed from 0 to 10

Turned this into a non-fatal warning, let’s see how it goes. See commit d9df8eb994554f7983b88c0eabe7d9f00a9d7b8b in puppet-tails for details about why it sounds safe to me.

#3 Updated by intrigeri 2016-11-13 13:15:30

  • Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
  • Target version changed from Tails_2.9.1 to Tails_2.7

Worked for bertagaz preparing the 2.7 tagged snapshots.

Except that:
