The last kpartx-releated fix will be released to Artful in 2.445, the SRU-s need to wait for that to strictly follow the SRU process.

I don't understand why xenial and trusty are declined. is this a mistake?

SRUs for older releases are tracked in LP: #1690440

hello @rbalint, ping? do you want an upload?

not failing on yakkety, because the autopkgtest doesn't yet exist there.

  [ Balint Reczey ]
  * wrap kpartx and trap spurious errors, to work around kpartx
    unreliability as seen in autopkgtests. (LP: #1684090)

  [ Steve Langasek ]
  * Mark autopkgtests isolation-machine since debootstrap won't work in a
    container.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for livecd-rootfs has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

Reopening this because although the autopkgtests have managed to pass, the test is still racy and we aren't correctly capturing the error message; we were grepping for 'loop deleted:' but the actual message (as shown in the bug log) is 'loop deleted : /dev/loop0'.

Fix is inbound.

This bug was fixed in the package livecd-rootfs - 2.408.16

---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.408.16) xenial; urgency=medium

  * live-build/ubuntu-cpc/functions: call apt-get update in the chroot
    after mounting a blank /var/lib/apt, so that further operations work
    as expected; otherwise, 'apt-get purge ^grub-.*' fails on s390x because
    no such packages are known to apt.
  * live-build/ubuntu-cpc/hooks/030-root-tarball.binary: correct a missing
    unmount of /var/{lib,cache}/apt on cleanup, detected via autopkgtests.
