Public bug reported: The systemd package has the following code in its prerm:
if [ "$1" = "remove" ] && [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then echo "systemd is the active init system, please switch to another before removing systemd." exit 1 fi However, /run/systemd/system will exist even in a chroot, and an init system is not needed in a chroot. The maintainer script should include a check for whether we're running in a chroot, to allow systemd to be removed when it's not needed and there is no harm. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758438 Title: systemd can't be removed from a chroot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1758438/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
