[Bug 1971954] Re: package multipath-tools 0.8.8-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed multipath-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Thank you for the followup, Lars. Based on your comment (and if I understood it correctly), the issue was caused because of a local configuration choice instead of a bug in the package itself. Therefore, I'm closing this bug as Invalid. Feel free to reopen it and provide more details if you don't agree with the decision.

After thinking a while about this, and having a look at our configuration for focal I thik the reason for this issue during the upgrade is that the `multipathd.service` and `multipathd.socket` were already masked in our focal setup. The `multipath-tools` packet is nevertheless attempting to restart them and this obviously fails. We had diskussed to remove/purge the `multipath-tools` due to a massive amount of the following messages in focal: ``` multipathd[696]: sda: add missing path multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory multipathd[696]: sdb: add missing path multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory ``` And due to the dependency of the `ubuntu-servers` metapackage we decided to mask the `multipathd.service` and `multipathd.socket` units. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971954 Title: package multipath-tools 0.8.8-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed multipath-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1971954/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello and thanks for this bug report. I tried doing a `do-release- upgrade -d` from Focal to Jammy, checking that multipathd was healthy in the first place, before beginning the upgrade. I couldn't reproduce the issue. We're willing to investigate this failure case, but what we need are some steps to reproduce it starting from a clean Ubuntu system. Could you please provide us with those, and any other bit of context that can help us better understand what's happening?

multipath-tools is depended by ubuntu-server but not really used.
