I have seem some occasional odd failures coming from the "dnf -y
update" done by elements/base/install.d/00-up-to-date.
dnf seems to sometimes think a package is not installed when it really
is. It then seems to try and re-install them, but notices they are
installed, and then bails with a failure exit [1]. The packages that
seem to cause this vary, but the common thread is that they seem to
have all been installed during the initial phase of installing the
package manager in the chroot.
I suspect that when we are building the chroot, we do our initial
install with the "external" yum & rpm. Then we start using the
dnf/yum in the chroot, but we're actually using meta-data created by
the *external* tools -- which could be vastly different versions or
who-knows-what. While I honestly I don't have an exact root cause,
empirically I've found rebuilding the rpm db always seems to fix
things up.
So this change takes care to rebuild the rpm db with the chroot
version of rpm, and clear out the package metadata for a refresh with
"update". This should hopefully put us in a consistent state.

This element is similar to vm, but allows more flexibility
on disk partitioning. It receives a DIB_PARTITIONING_SFDISK_SCHEMA
setting, allowing to partition the disk according to project needs.

This patch fixes the profile autodetect. If the profile was passed at install
time, it would overridden by the environment.d script. This was fixed by
accepting the value passed by the user, if one was passed.
The enviroment.d file is run outside of chroot, because of this eselect will
not be available on non-gentoo systems. We change the behavior to work
elsewhere, it was not working on non-gentoo systems and giving bad results on
gentoo systems (returing values from the host, not the guest being built).
This patch also fixes shm detection by checking if it is mounted already.

This is breaking deployments that use registration. I
believe os-refresh-config scripts don't source environment.d
files, so the variable is unset there.
Given that this a blocking issue for RHEL deployments, I'm
pushing a quick revert and we can come up with a proper fix
when this isn't stopping other work.
This reverts commit 71bd8b3a33.

In certain cases, with packages cached that need an upgrade,
when performing that action the system hangs waiting for
a prompt.
Add force-confdef option, that will let dpkg overwrite
configuration packages that were not modified. In combination
with already existing force-confold flag, it will allow
to avoid any conffile prompt.

python3 is a hard requirement of dnf so can't be removed [1]
grubby is also required for kernel installs on Fedora. For too much
detail see I1a6e45d04755515286b3d49f8280c16b527e2f48; but the kernel,
via dracut, now has this as a "recommends" due to people removing it
and making unbootable systems.

The debian-minimal element creates /etc/apt/sources.list solely with
the 'main' component. I need to add 'non-free' and 'contribs'. I tried
to pass them via DIB_DEBIAN_COMPONENTS but it is not recognized.
Make debian-minimal to honor DIB_DEBIAN_COMPONENTS. Note that it is
comma separated for 'debootstrap', so replace commas with spaces to fit
the needs of sources.list.
Example usage:
DIB_DEBIAN_COMPONENTS='main,non-free,contrib'
Will debootstrap with the three components then when debian-minimal is
realized pre install a sources.list that has:
deb http://example.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free

We were getting some subtle issues in fedora-minimal builds that
turned out to be because /var/run was not a symlink to /run.
Upon further investigation, it turns out that yum is creating a
/var/run directory for it's pid file when it starts working in the
empty chroot (which I verified by stracing it)
---
5905 stat("/home/ubuntu/tmp/dib-tmp/image.Ac4VZZsl/mnt/var/run", 0x7ffddffa0330) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
5905 mkdir("/home/ubuntu/tmp/dib-tmp/image.Ac4VZZsl/mnt/var/run", 0755) = 0
5905 open("/home/ubuntu/tmp/dib-tmp/image.Ac4VZZsl/mnt/var/run/yum.pid", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644) = 6
---
Because this happens *before* we install "filesystem" (the package),
we mess up it's symlinking.
To work-around this, pre-install the trio of base packages (setup,
basesystem, filesystem) with rpm from outside the chroot.

The Ubuntu Xenial cloud server images set the mode of
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial to 700, so when mounted it's inaccessible to
an unprivileged user, resulting in an error:
find: `/tmp/image.aDQKdkRi/mnt/var/lib/apt/lists/partial': Permission denied
There's no reason an image should come with anything already in
/var/lib/apt/lists/partial, so just avoid trying to descend into that
directory when fixing the apt translations packages.

This is a slight refactor I found useful when debugging. The
udevadmin info query will be visbile in the output of "set -x" which
helps, and is the logs/journal.
We can also reduce some calls by keeping the value and just grepping
with a herefile.
This also does some error checking and bails out if it does not see
what it needs to continue.

Tucked away in systemd-udev-settle.service is the following comment
# This service can dynamically be pulled-in by legacy services which
# cannot reliably cope with dynamic device configurations, and
# wrongfully expect a populated /dev during bootup.
The info that the growroot script is querying is populated via udev,
particularly the blkid bits of [1]. This creates a race-condition
where sometimes udev has been triggered and the rules have applied and
sometimes not. Obviously in the first case, the root disk is not
grown correctly.
systemd-udev-settle is mostly disabled on distros because it can cause
an increase in boot-time for systems with lots of disks; this is not
our situation so it makes basically no difference.
That said, I will investigate if some systemd people know even better
ways to do this (possibly the service should depend on block .device
targets in systemd, and then filter out and only apply to the root
disk?)

A TODO was placed on the partitioning section of the vm element to
replace sfdisk with a saner (and less arcane) way of partitioning. It
suggested parted for replacement. This changeset should reproduce the
same disk label and partition layout as sfdisk, but with less ioctl
errors and version dependency. It will also ensure partition alignment.

As described in the comment, there is a dnf equivalent of this command
that doesn't require us installing yum-utils (which drags in yum on
dnf-only systems such as f23)
This is a small consequence to this -- due to us not installing
yum-utils some installs will now be completely yum free. This causes
a breakage in ironic-agent 99-remove-extra-packages where we remove
the yum package. There is a long-standing bug/feature where missing
packages in a group of packages do not cause yum/dnf to exit with
failure, but uninstalling a single package will. Because we have made
the systems yum-free, the uninstall of yum can fail in this corner
case.
It has always been like this, so I'm in favour of the "ain't broke"
approach. To work-around this, I have just put yum into the existing
list of packages to be cleaned up. I have added a note to the yum
installer taking note of this behaviour for future reference.
