Ubuntu 24.04 LTS failing install

[jaribeckman]

Hello, using cloud image for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Trying to install from latest v8-stable repo but kept failing even after removing and deleting files and retrying. Suspecting some corrupt file or typo. For now switched to daily developer repo instead which installs fine.

Same problem. I can try install from ppa:adiscon/daily-stable but noble series doesnt supported. @jaribeckman How were you able to achieve a successful installation?

We are already aware of the issue with the failing install on Ubuntu 24.04 and investigating.

There seems to be an issue with the package building process for the stable packages. For the time being, the issue is marked as a bug.

It seems that the rsyslog.service file is duplicated. If you delete it, it works:

dpkg -x /var/cache/apt/archives/rsyslog_8.2408.0-0adiscon5noble1_amd64.deb ./rsyslog
mkdir ./rsyslog/DEBIAN
dpkg --control /var/cache/apt/archives/rsyslog_8.2408.0-0adiscon5noble1_amd64.deb ./rsyslog/DEBIAN/
rm ./rsyslog/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service
rmdir ./rsyslog/lib/systemd/system/
rmdir ./rsyslog/lib/systemd/
rmdir ./rsyslog/lib/
dpkg -b ./rsyslog/ /tmp/rsyslog.deb
sudo apt install /tmp/rsyslog.deb

Also I have problems with Apparmor and with the file "/usr/lib/rsyslog/reload-apparmor-profile" as it does not exist and I had to get the files from Ubuntu package.

This is blocking our upgrade to 24.04 - is there an ETA for this, or something we can do to help resolve?

[GZRad]

Same here. Ubuntu isn't providing the modules I need (mmnormalize, imudp, imtcp) & I can't just compile the stuff myself.

[friedl]

There is currently still an issue with our build environment and this build in particular. We hope to have it up and running soon. Until then, I can only tell you that we are working on it. We want this out of the door as much as anyone else.

I am sorry for the delay, we had to rebuild the noble package files from scratch as the differences between ours and Ubuntu base packages have been grown to much.

Please see also #178

New Packages for noble have been deployed on our launchpad.

[alorbach]

Should be fixed by #178

Thanks @alorbach - appreciate your efforts :)

[GZRad]

Many thanks, much appreciated. Confirmed as working on my end.
