new noble installation but never on another installation which was
upgraded from mantic some time but early on during the noble development

Bugs,
It looks like the global need-reload state that Christian investigated
that is being set by a snapd operation was added recently in systemd.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/a82b8b3dc80619c3275ad8180069289b411206d0
That is likely why we're only seeing this issue in noble.

TL;DR:
As many I've gone deeper, but none of the times in `stat` nor the
checksums of /usr/lib/systemd/system/hello.service did change.
Turns out this wasn't even about their file states.
And additionally my understanding was wrong, and potentially yours as well.
The state if this is outdated
Same thing on 24.04 and rebooting doesn't fix it.
Seems those unit files belongs to: ubuntu-pro-client

I am seeing this message on Ubuntu 24.04 Beta x64. I did an apt update

of the blue today.

Yes, I think we may be enumerating a directory / statting files. I don't
believe we open anything unless we want to have a look but I _could_ be
wrong and I'm still investigating things (with interruptions to attend
calls).
I don't believe it is related to ubuntu-pro-client, the only reason it
is
Thanks for all the investigation and discussion!
Just to close out the ubuntu-pro-client related questions:
ubuntu-pro-client does run daemon-reload in postinst.
and here is a reproducer that doesn't involve ubuntu-pro-client services
```
lxc launch ubuntu-daily:noble test
lxc shell test
# now
Both before and after daemon-reload the units have the same definition:
$ systemctl cat apt-news.service esm-cache.service
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/apt-news.service
# APT News is hosted at https://motd.ubuntu.com/aptnews.json and can include
# timely information related to apt updates available
With a closer look I ended up running this loop while looking at systemd
debug logs:
sudo snap remove --purge snapd && sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo
systemctl restart snapd && snap version && sudo apt update && echo
"ALOHA: installing snapd" | systemd-cat && sudo snap install snapd &&
echo

I understand, but in comment #14 the warning is very specific about the
It's not the apt-news nor esm-cache service that was modified.
It looks like systemd warns about daemon-reload in any cases if any of the
systemd unit files are modified and daemon-reload wasn't called after that.
Check the postinst script of the binary packages produced by src:ubuntu-
advantage-tools. The binary packages that install systemd units must
call daemon-reload at some point after the new unit file was installed.

Removing ubuntu-pro-client silences this, so that installation of snapd
snap no longer causes any side-effects. While I can see that
installation of snapd has some impact on ubuntu-pro-client, I cannot yet
understand how.

Snapd touches neither apt-news.service nor esm-cache.service.
On my system the only mention of esm-cache.service is in
uaclient/actions.py:
zyga@ciri:/$ grep -FR esm-cache.service usr/ 2>/dev/null
usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/uaclient/actions.py:"esm-cache.service",
I've increased systemd
I've reproduced this and collected forkstat logs from installation of
snapd snap on an otherwise pristine "noble" system. I think what is
going on is that systemd stays in a mode where it knows that units on
disk have changed vs units in memory and will print the warning until
re-loaded. The fact

Thank you nobuto! With that I was able to reproduce the issue.
lxc launch ubuntu-daily:noble test
lxc exec test -- apt update # this one works as expected
lxc exec test -- snap install snapd
lxc exec test -- apt update # this one has the warnings in the bug report
assigning this bug to snapd
Hmm, it happened again between those two `apt update`. It might be snapd
related.

Hello Nobutu. Thanks again for reporting this.
I have been trying to reproduce the error with no success. I tried some
combinations of:

- [pro downgrade / upgrade targeting 31.1]
- pro enable / disable
- [pro downgrade / upgrade targeting 31.1]
- apt
It was puzzling indeed, but now I have a reproduction step.

Hello, Nobuto,
First of all, thanks for reporting this issue.
We did changes to the apt news service file - we added the apparmor
profiles and systemd security config there - and no, we didn't reload it
by default, which may be causing those warnings.
However, I could not reproduce this
