Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 0.93.1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
After installation, the unattended-upgrades.service fails to start
correctly and is left in an invalid state :
# systemctl status unattended-upgrades.service
unattended-upgrades.service - Unattended Upgrades Shutdown
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/unattended-upgrades.service; enabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:unattended-upgrade(8)
This is caused by the fact that the debian/rules's
override_dh_installinit forces an update-rc.d stop which is no longer
supported. It then reverts to update-rc.d default which only applies the
Default-Stop in the SysV script.
When the unit is enabled by systemd, it fails with the following message
since there is no Default-Start :
systemctl enable unattended-upgrades.service
Synchronizing state of unattended-upgrades.service with SysV service
script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable unattended-upgrades
update-rc.d: error: unattended-upgrades Default-Start contains no
runlevels, aborting.
A patch fixing this problem will follow soon.
Please review this patch for inclusion in a new version of the package.
Kind regards,
Louis Bouchard
