Package: systemd
Version: 232-25+deb9u1
Severity: normal
systemd-sysv-install uses `ROOT` variable from environment when not set
via `-r` and tries to execute update-rc.d chrooted to the content of
this variable.
I'm am a bit unsure whether or not this really is a bug, but since it
was a total surprise for me when I found the cause of the issue and I
did not find any documentation about this behaviour, I think this is a
bug.
*Expected behaviour I didn't see*
root@Klappspaten:/# systemctl enable ssh
Synchronizing state of ssh.service with SysV service script with
/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable ssh
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sshd.service →
/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service.
*Unexpected behaviour I saw*
When ROOT is e.g. set to /dev/sda1, this issue occurs:
root@Klappspaten:/# systemctl enable ssh
Synchronizing state of ssh.service with SysV service script with
/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable ssh
chroot: cannot change root directory to "'/dev/sda1'": No such file or
directory
*Steps to reproduce the problem*
Simply set the environment variable and try to enable a service that is
also available as SysV-Init-Script
root@Klappspaten:/# export ROOT=/dev/sda1
root@Klappspaten:/# systemctl enable ssh
Synchronizing state of ssh.service with SysV service script with
/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable ssh
chroot: cannot change root directory to "'/dev/sda1'": No such file or
directory
*Possible solution*
ROOT should be initialized with an empty value before reading command
line options.
