Package: openvswitch-switch
Version: 2.10.0+2018.08.28+git.8ca7c82b7d+ds1-12+deb10u2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I recently figured that openvswitch would not start. So I tried
# apt install --reinstall openvswitch-switch
and noticed, that it fails. From the journal:
May 30 00:14:17 debian ovs-ctl[21685]: install: fatal: unable to read
dnsroots.global: file does not exist
May 30 00:14:17 debian ovsdb-server[21706]:
ovs|00002|daemon_unix|EMER|/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid.tmp: create
failed (No such file or directory)
May 30 00:14:17 debian ovs-ctl[21685]: ovsdb-server:
/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid.tmp: create failed (No such file or
directory)
May 30 00:14:17 debian ovs-ctl[21685]: Starting ovsdb-server ... failed!
May 30 00:14:17 debian systemd[1]: openvswitch-nonetwork.service: Main process
exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
-- Subject: Unit process exited
I noticed that the supplied init script does not seem to create the required
directory under /run. Maybe something else is amiss as well, but after I
created the directory manually, openvswitch-switch started normally.
Cheers,
Toni
