Package: systemd Version: 247~rc2-2 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I have updated several machine with experimental version and they did break for various reasosn during install: 1) One is a NAS that I was updating via ssh. during update, the ssh session closed, it was impossible to open a new one, and as the machine is headless, very difficult to know what happened. The power button did an acpi shutdwon and the machine did restart, but trying to do apt-get -f install, I have been prompted to do a dpkg --configure -a because update was interrupted. After that the machine was operationnal again 2) One was a laptop, running a very recent kernel 5.9.8, This time i did update logged on a X11 kde konsole. During update, the entire X session crashed, virtual terminal were unreachable, remote login was impossible. Doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL, somehow did shutdown the machine but rebooting was impossible. I had to select an old kernel with its own initramfs, and to downgrade systemd to the one from unstable to get things back on order. Sorry to providfe little traces but I think it is usefull to warn that updating may cause problem that may need a boot rescue medium to repair. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.4.77 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libacl1 2.2.53-8 ii libapparmor1 3.0.0-1 ii libaudit1 1:3.0~alpha9-1 ii libblkid1 2.36-3+b2 ii libc6 2.31-4 ii libcap2 1:2.44-1 ii libcrypt1 1:4.4.17-1 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.3.4-1+exp1 ii libgcrypt20 1.8.7-2 ii libgnutls30 3.6.15-5 ii libgpg-error0 1.38-2 ii libidn2-0 2.3.0-3 ii libip4tc2 1.8.6-1 ii libkmod2 27+20200310-2 ii liblz4-1 1.9.2-2 ii liblzma5 5.2.4-1+b1 ii libmount1 2.36-3+b2 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.34-7 ii libseccomp2 2.5.0-3 ii libselinux1 3.1-2+b1 ii libsystemd0 246.6-2 ii libzstd1 1.4.5+dfsg-4 ii mount 2.36-3+b2 ii ntp [time-daemon] 1:4.2.8p15+dfsg-1 ii util-linux 2.36-3+b2 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.13.18-1 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii policykit-1 0.105-29 pn systemd-container <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.139 ii libnss-systemd 246.6-2 ii libpam-systemd 246.6-2 ii udev 246.6-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/systemd/journald.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
