Package: systemd Version: 227-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers,
with 227-2 (not found in 226-2), systemctl behaves differently in chroots for (at least) services that only provide a sysv init script, breaking package install or removal: 226-2, jessie: Ignored, retval 0: # root? systemctl restart non-existing.service Running in chroot, ignoring request. # root? systemctl restart wicd.service Running in chroot, ignoring request. 227-2, sid: Fails, retval 6: # root? systemctl restart non-existing.service Failed to restart non-existing.service: Unit non-existing.service failed to load: No such file or directory. # root? systemctl restart non-existing.service Failed to restart non-existing.service: Unit non-existing.service failed to load: No such file or directory. As systemctl is also run implicitely via invoke.rc.d on postinst etc., this actually breaks package installation/removal on such systems (one current example is the wicd package). Fwiw, calling systemctl as /sbin/runlevel still works fine: # root? /sbin/runlevel Running in chroot, ignoring request. Hth!
