Package: usbauth Version: 1.0.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch On Ubuntu, the "service dbus start" doesn't work.
| # service dbus start | Failed to start dbus.service: Operation refused, unit dbus.service may be requested by dependency only (it is configured to refuse manual start/stop). | See system logs and 'systemctl status dbus.service' for details. | | # cat /lib/systemd/system/dbus.service | [Unit] | Description=D-Bus System Message Bus | Documentation=man:dbus-daemon(1) | Requires=dbus.socket | # we don't properly stop D-Bus (see ExecStop=), thus disallow restart | RefuseManualStart=yes | | [Service] | ExecStart=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation --syslog-only | ExecReload=/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig | ExecStop=/bin/true | KillMode=none | OOMScoreAdjust=-900 What you can safely do is systemctl start dbus.socket, which will ensure that DBus starts, and is running. Stopping DBus is almost never a good idea, so the test probably shouldn't do that. If it did, it should declare the isolation-container restriction. So, how about this patch: diff -Nru usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/control usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/control --- usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/control 2019-12-10 18:14:31.000000000 -0800 +++ usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/control 2020-05-13 17:22:36.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ Tests: test -Depends: @, libc-bin, usbauth-notifier, dbus +Depends: dbus, libc-bin, systemd, usbauth-notifier, @ Restrictions: needs-root, allow-stderr diff -Nru usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/test usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/test --- usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/test 2019-12-10 17:46:36.000000000 -0800 +++ usbauth-1.0.2/debian/tests/test 2020-05-13 17:22:10.000000000 -0700 @@ -8,9 +8,8 @@ echo "run: Test" echo "allow all" | tee /etc/usbauth.conf -service dbus start +systemctl start dbus.socket usbauth init -service dbus stop echo "run: Successful" exit 0 It works for me with the schroot, lxd, and qemu backends, so it should pass on both Debian and Ubuntu's CI environments.
