kata-runtime installation fails

[RuijingGuo]

worker2:  kata-runtime : Depends: qemu-lite (>= 2.11.0+git.f886228-56) but 2.11.0+git.87517afd72-57 is to be installed
worker2: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

==> worker2: An error occurred. The error will be shown after all tasks complete.

@bergwolf have you seen this?

@guoruijing what distro are you on?

[RuijingGuo]

I used Ubuntu 16.04. this is regression.

That feels very related to the open issue kata-containers/runtime#1184 ?

@guoruijing - thanks for reporting. But we really could benefit from a little more details here:

• What version of Kata were you using before the install failed?
• Can we see more complete logs please?

I've just tried installing Kata on 16.04 using https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/install/installing-with-kata-manager.md and it's working fine. Hence, the problem is presumably an update issue.

Another data point and more proof that we need to implement kata-containers/ci#10 asap though.

1. I use vagrant box "ceph/ubuntu-xenial"
2. vagrant@worker1:~$ cat /etc/issue
   Ubuntu 16.04 LTS \n \l
3. run the following commands with fresh OS by vagrant:
   sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/release/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kata-containers.list"
   curl -sL http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/release/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
   sudo -E apt-get update
   sudo -E apt-get -y install kata-runtime kata-proxy kata-shim

log:
vagrant@worker1:~$ sudo -E apt-get -y install kata-runtime kata-proxy kata-shim

the package came from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/release/xUbuntu_16.04/

kata-runtime_1.4.0+git.21f0059-55_amd64.deb
kata-proxy_1.4.0+git.e1856c2-40_amd64.deb
qemu-lite_2.11.0+git.87517afd72-57_amd64.deb

It seems the 1.5.0 release artifacts didn't make it to the apt repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/release/xUbuntu_16.04/) although obs reported that the build succeeded
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:katacontainers:releases:x86_64:master

Well, there is a different repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/releases:/x86_64:/master/xUbuntu_16.04/

Note that it is releases instead of release in the url.

I remember there were discussion about releases vs. release before. Which one did we decide to use? cc @marcov

@guoruijing Please use http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/katacontainers:/releases:/x86_64:/master/xUbuntu_16.04/ as a workaround for now.

Hi, the problem here is that, in the release project, {runtime, shim, proxy} fail to build for Ubuntu 16.04. We had the same in use in releases:x86_64:master, and it was fixed by setting up the project config so that a more recent GCC version was picked when building packages.

In the future, to avoid these kind of situations, new releases should first be tested in temporary project branches on OBS, then submitted to the official OBS project and finally accepted / rejected for merge by reviewers. That's what we do with all the openSUSE packages.

It's discussed here. If there isn't a strong reason to keep release around, we should nuke it.
