Bug#773731: LVM cached volumes fail to activate at boot without cache_check on bullseye
Dear Maintainer, I encountered this bug when I upgraded my system from buster to bullseye, causing my system to be unable to boot without manual intervention. I also reproduced the bug in a fresh bullseye install. When I originally installed buster I used guided partitioning with LVM, which resulted in the lvm2 package being installed but not its recommended thin-provisioning-tools. While on buster I configured a volume (/home) to have a cache pool following the steps in lvmcache(7). The system booted with the cached volume available without /usr/sbin/cache_check from thin-provisioning-tools. After upgrading my system to bullseye and rebooting, my cached volume could not be mounted at home and I was asked to enter the root password for the emergency mode maintenance shell. "lvconvert --splitcache vg/cached_lv" would allow me to reboot with the now uncached volume once again activated on boot. Alternatively I could "lvchange -ay vg/cached_lv" at the emergency mode root shell, which would produce the error: /usr/sbin/cache_check: execvp failed: No such file or directory WARNING: Check is skipped, please install recommended missing binary /usr/sbin/cache_check! After manually activating the volume "systemctl default" would continue booting normally. I also encountered this bug on a fresh install of bullseye in a virtual machine. Steps to reproduce (demonstrated using two virtio drives): * Requires two drives * Install bullseye from debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from 2021-04- 12 * Guided partitioning with LVM, separate /home * SSH and standard tasks root@lvmtest:~# fdisk /dev/vdb # Create GPT partition table and /dev/vdb1 as type Linux LVM root@lvmtest:~# pvcreate /dev/vdb1 Physical volume "/dev/vdb1" successfully created. root@lvmtest:~# vgextend lvmtest-vg /dev/vdb1 Volume group "lvmtest-vg" successfully extended root@lvmtest:~# lvcreate -n cachehome -L 32g lvmtest-vg Logical volume "cachehome" created. root@lvmtest:~# lvconvert --type cache --cachepool cachehome lvmtest- vg/home WARNING: Converting lvmtest-vg/cachehome to cache pool's data volume with metadata wiping. THIS WILL DESTROY CONTENT OF LOGICAL VOLUME (filesystem etc.) Do you really want to convert lvmtest-vg/cachehome? [y/n]: y Converted lvmtest-vg/cachehome to cache pool. Logical volume lvmtest-vg/home is now cached. * Reboot will bring system into emergency mode because /home cannot be mounted. The lvm2 package was again installed by the bullseye debian-installer because of the guided partitioning choice, but without its recommended thin-provisioning-tools which contains /usr/sbin/cache_check. I think that activating cached volumes on boot was working during buster is related to this line from /usr/share/doc/lvm2/changelog.gz: Version 2.02.178-rc1 - 24th May 2018 … Allow activation of pools when thin/cache_check tool is missing. However this seems to be no longer the case on bullseye, at least automatically at boot. This may warrant a warning in the bullseye release notes as systems using lvmcache on buster without thin-provisioning-tools installed will not boot properly after upgrading to bullseye. Thanks, Jeremy McNaughton
Bug#909063: apacheds: package installation fails due to incorrect apacheds.service unit
Package: apacheds Version: 2.0.0~M15-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? * What was the outcome of this action? * What outcome did you expect instead? *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** I am unable to install the apacheds package. The installation fails when dpkg attempts to start the service due to incorrect ExecStart= directives in the apacheds.service system unit. I have tried on both stretch and buster, the same problem happens on both. Below I have included the complete output of the apt-get command used, as well as the output of "journalctl -u apacheds.service" after the package failed to install. *** apt-get-install-apacheds.txt root@ldap01:~# apt-get install apacheds Reading package lists...

Bug#870032: 389-admin: Package installation fails after dirsrv-admin.service fails to start
Package: 389-admin Version: 1.1.43-1+b1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, I attempted to install 389-ds which installs 389-admin as a dependency. During the installation dirsrv-admin.service fails to start with the result that the following packages fail to install: iF 389-admin 1.1.43-1+b1 iU 389-ds1.3.5.17-2 iU 389-ds-console1.2.16-1 iU 389-dsgw 1.1.11-2+b3 The configuration files listed below with permission errors are the ones that would be installed by the package, I can send those if they would be useful. dirsrv-admin.service fails to start because the directory /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv does not exist. If I create this directory with the same ownership and permissions it would have in jessie (389-admin 1.1.35-2) I am still unable to start the service, but I do get messages in /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error. I've included the transcript of installing the package, systemctl status output, journalctl output, the above mentioned admin-serv/error and the transcript of me creating that directory and attempting to start the service below what reportbug has prepared. The end result is that the software does not start, and the system has packages that dpkg cannot finish configuring. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages 389-admin depends on: ii 389-ds-base1.3.5.17-2 ii apache22.4.25-3+deb9u2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii init-system-helpers1.48 ii libadminutil0 1.1.23-1 ii libapache2-mod-nss 1.0.14-1+b1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.35-1 ii libds-admin-serv0 1.1.43-1+b1 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.44+dfsg-5 ii libmozilla-ldap-perl 1.5.3-2+b3 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-6 ii libnss32:3.26.2-1.1 ii libnss3-tools 2:3.26.2-1.1 389-admin recommends no packages. 389-admin suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admserv.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/admserv.conf' /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/console.conf' /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/httpd.conf' /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/nss.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/nss.conf' -- no debconf information --- Transcript from apt-get root@ldap01:~# apt-get install 389-ds Reading package lists...
