*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1804847 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804847 OpenVZ has been proactive w.r.t. this issue and have issued an update that includes the required backports a long time ago. Please see this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1804847/comments/20 """ Updated OpenVz6 kernel was released: https://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042stab134.7 We are very grateful for Ubuntu team for reverting of patches specially for OpenVz. For affected hosters: OpenVz6 is great but it is really old, and similar incidents can happen again and again. Please think about switch to RHEL7-based OpenVz7. Thank you, Vasily Averin """ Which was released in November 2018. All your provider needs to do, is to apply OpenVZ updates. >From Ubuntu point of view this is a wontfix, as providing systemd without using fchownat opens a security vulnerability CVE-2018-6954. Please upgrde to OpenVZ kernel 042stab134.7 or anything better. I believe currently the latest kernel is 042stab136.1. @ddstreet please delete your packages from the PPA, as you are intentially distributing security vulnerable systemd.

AHA! > Uname: Linux 2.6.32-042stab128.2 x86_64 you can't run this ancient kernel in a Xenial release (and expect things to work right). That's the cause of your problems; tmpfiles was recently updated to start using fchownat() with the AT_EMPTY_PATH flag, and: $ man fchownat | grep AT_EMPTY_PATH AT_EMPTY_PATH (since Linux 2.6.39) upgrade your kernel to a supported version provided by Ubuntu in Xenial. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Invalid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Invalid ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: Dan Streetman (ddstreet) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Medium => Undecided -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
