Fedora 33 Cloud image bug? Or new packaging "feature"?
by Mike Savage
Hi,
I have some Ansible code that inspects qcow images to verify the distro and version via shell --> virt-inspector...and then set facts for use later on in the code. However, upon downloading Fedora-Cloud-Base-33-1.2.x86_64.qcow2 image and executing my playbooks, Ansible errored out.
To see what was going on, I received the following when I manually executed "virt-inspector -a" against the image to inspect:
# virt-inspector -a Fedora-Cloud-Base-33-1.2.x86_64.qcow2
libguestfs: error: filesize: /var/lib/rpm/Name: No such file or directory
Using the guestfs-browser, I noticed that the /var/lib/rpm directory for the F33 Cloud image was essentially empty, whereas on previous Fedora Cloud image releases I inspected ( 32-1.6, 31-1.9, 30-1.2 ), all had /var/lib/rpm directories that were populated (ie, Name was present). Is this a packaging "miss" for the F33 Cloud OpenStack QCOW image? Or a "feature" new to Fedora 33...and if so, should I adjust my automation to move to a more distro agnostic method, like probing and parsing /etc/os-release within images?

Fedora 33 Cloud Test Day 2020-10-05
by Sumantro Mukherjee
Hey All,
Fedora 33 Cloud Test Day happening on Monday, October 5th, 2020!
A test day is an event where anyone can help make sure that changes in
Fedora are working well in the upcoming release. Fedora community
members often participate, but the public is welcome also. You only
need to be able to download materials (including some large files),
and read and follow technical directions step by step, to contribute.
The wiki page[0] for the Cloud test day has a lot of good information
on what and how to test. After you’ve done some testing, you can log
your results in the test day app[1].
