Package: systemd
Version: 252.6-1
Severity: serious
User: [email protected]
Usertags: piuparts
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships an empty
directory (/usr/lib/modules-load.d/) which disappears after installation
and removal of another package (e.g. multipath-tools) in a merged-/usr
setup. This is not a bug in the other package, but an effect of our
merged-/usr implementation.
Side question first: does systemd evaluate both
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/* and /lib/modules-load.d/* ?
Otherwise all packages shipping something in /lib/modules-load.d/ are
broken on unmerged-/usr because their config snippets are not being
taken into account.
This is happening to trigger the bug:
systemd ships /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ (empty directory)
multipath-tools ships /lib/modules-load.d/multipath.conf
dpkg doesn't know that /lib/modules-load.d/ and /usr/lib/modules-load.d/
are the same, and therefore removal of multipath-tools causes removal of
* /lib/modules-load.d/multipath.conf (OK)
* /lib/modules-load.d/ (if it was the last owner of that directory), while
it effectively is /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ getting removed
When adding a placeholder file, it needs to be something that is ignored
by the processing of the .d directory (the pattern could be *.conf, but I
might be mistaken here).
An alternative to shipping a placeholder file could be shipping
/lib/modules-load.d/ as additional empty directory, but I don't know
whether this would be allowed w.r.t. merged-/usr.
>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
0m39.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
/usr/lib/modules-load.d/ owned by: systemd
This is not caught by default piuparts tests as there is no test with
systemd explicitly installed.
I could not reproduce this issue in bullseye (and haven't tried to
reproduce it in earlier releases).
cheers,
Andreas

[ Nick Rosbrook ]
* debian: ship libsystemd.a in libsystemd-dev.
Thanks to Serge Hallyn
* autopkgtest: add build test for static libsystemd
* debian/rules: build with -ffat-lto-objects.
Building with -flto=auto, but without -ffat-lto-objects, causes static
archives to end up without any code sections. This is needed to ship a
usable libsystemd.a in libsystemd-dev.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=977596.
.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Backport patch to fix test-path failure on Salsa CI
.
[ Michael Biebl ]
* Ask before attaching the udev db information to the bug report
(Closes: #1041652)
* Install D-Bus interface files in systemd-dev.
Now that we have a dedicated -dev package, use that to install
/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces.
* Clean up a couple more __pycache__ directories
* Remove workarounds for dh_installman.
No longer needed as stable ships a fixed debhelper.
* Remove all empty directories from (/usr)/lib.
This mitigates the accidental empty directory removal by dpkg on
merged-/usr systems. (Closes: #1036920)
* Remove no longer needed maintainer scripts migration code for versions
older then oldstable
* Revert "Add workaround for Meson regression to fix FTBFS on mips64el"
This reverts commit 97ebdcea6d0ce52973dd5a9cfeede1573a628bd0.
No longer needed as a fixed meson package is available now.
