[Touch-packages] [Bug 1456789] Re: restarting services hangs on systemd-tty-ask-password-agent
I am running into this problem on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS (focal) when
running `dpkg --configure -a`, which is hanging when setting up `base-
files`. From diagnosis so far, it appears `dpkg --configure -a` runs
`/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst`, which runs `deb-systemd-invoke
start motd-news.timer`, which executes `systemd-tty-ask-password-agent
--watch`, which waits forever (without asking for a password on the
terminal). Detailed diagnosis:
$ sudo strace -o /tmp/dpkg-strace -tt -ff dpkg --debug=222 --configure -a
Setting up base-files (11ubuntu5.4) ...
D02: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst ( configure
11ubuntu5.3 )
Running this `postinst` script manually with `bash -xv` hangs while
executing `deb-systemd-invoke start motd-news.timer`, something also
revealed by `pstree` (for a case running without strace):
bash───sudo───dpkg───base-files.post───systemctl───systemd-tty-ask
Strace outputs around 10k lines. One of the strace output files, which
appears to correspond to the command `deb-systemd-invoke start motd-
news.timer`, ends with a `ppoll`, apparently waiting for a socket.

I haven't extensively tested all services, but it looks like anything set up similarly to smbd.

When run from cron, the process tree looks like this: service smbd restart \_ systemctl restart smbd.service \_ /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent --watch \_ /usr/bin/pkttyagent --notify-fd 5 --fallback Run from a shell via sudo, same thing except the process tree (obviously) includes the sudo command. It times out after 5 minutes, causing the script to fail. If I manually kill the processes, it fails faster. The simplest possible scripts that reproduce this, run as root or through cron or via sudo, are: #!/bin/sh service smbd restart #!/bin/sh systemctl restart smbd.service Using 'service', this works perfectly on Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10, and until this morning worked perfectly on 15.04 as well. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System - About Ubuntu Ubuntu 15.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center systemd 219-7ubuntu5 samba 2:4.1.13+dfsg-4ubuntu3 3) What you expected to happen Services to restart 4) What happened instead Services didn't restart, 'systemctl' hung To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1456789/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
