Bug Description

[Test Case] ubuntu-defaults-image --locale zh_CN --arch i386 --release precise

The Chinese edition build has been failing on precise for a while. Investigation reveals that this is because precise used 'set -o pipefail' in live-build/auto/build, and '... | fgrep -v .efi | ...' causes this to fail 'set -e' when the LHS doesn't output anything containing ".efi". We need to fix this in precise-updates to make the build work again.

Hello Colin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted livecd-rootfs into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/2.65.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Today's automatic builds succeeded, after asking webops to upgrade to the version in -proposed, so I think that's good enough.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.65.6

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.65.6) precise; urgency=low

  * live-build/auto/build: Use safer code for kernel handling that doesn't
    cause failures under 'set -o pipefail' in ubuntu-defaults-image
    (LP: #1097039).
