Please package libbpf (which is done out of the kernel src) in Debian [for 19.10]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1826410

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

apport-collect makes no sense for this which is more a feature/packaging request, setting confirmed

FYI here the package info from buster as of today

From our IRC discussion who might work on it (as it is yet untriaged):

[09:50] <smb> cpaelzer, there was a tendency to do things like debian does. It is on apw's list, however that is an ever changing territory
[09:52] <cpaelzer> if that is the case that is fine, could you or apw tell me that on the bug and if - as of today - an ETA for 19.10 can be expected or not?
[09:52] <cpaelzer> then I can work on the DPDK merge this cycle on that assumption
[...]
[10:00] <apw> cpaelzer, the short of it, is if you need it for 19.10 we can sort that out i am sure; but you will need to remind us

Ok, there will be regular pings then :-)

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-done-disco'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-disco' to 'verification-failed-disco'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Sure you mean Disco and not Eoan?
... checking

Hmm,
no libbpf-dev package in any -proposed just yet.
Neither die I find it in a new queue?

The one place I found it is in:
  * Please package libbpf (which is done out of the kernel src) in Debian [for
    19.10] (LP: #1826410)
    - SAUCE: tools -- fix add ability to disable libbfd

of https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed/+packages

I have neither found it as package at
  https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/16796097
nor in the build log:
  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/423858804/buildlog_ubuntu-disco-amd64.linux_5.0.0-16.17_BUILDING.txt.gz

I'm a bit lost right now, please let me know what to do.

After some discussion, probably just a bad bug ref in changelog?

It is, sorry about that. If we have no other need to re-spin we will have to hijack this bug report for verification and then reset things back after it claims to be released (the correct bug report would have been bug #1828234).

I would change the verification status to done here (for now). The automatic processes will claim this bug fixed at some point and then we will have to roll back all states here. Again sorry, for the inconvenience caused.

This might (again?) be a stray bug update.
This isn't fixed in Eoan, re-opening the bug.

This is now a dup of its own clone per our IRC discussion:
[10:12] <apw> cpaelzer, it sometimes is just easier to make a new bug and dup the old against it :)
[10:18] <cpaelzer> to get rid of the stray tracking updates
[10:18] <cpaelzer> ok I can certainly do so if that helps
