"sysctl.d docs clearly explain this is a known issue with clearly documented ways to work around it"
Try googling "how to disable ipv6 in ubuntu". The results suggest that the word "clearly" is misused. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50093 Title: Some sysctls are ignored on boot Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: procps /etc/init.d/procps.sh comes too early in the boot process to apply a lot of sysctl's. As it runs before networking modules are loaded and filesystems are mounted, there are quite a lot of commonly-used sysctl's which are simply ignored on boot and produce errors to the console. Simply renaming the symlink from S17 to > S40 probably isn't a great solution, as there are probably folk who want and expect some sysctl's to be applied before filesystems are mounted and so on. However, simply ugnoring something as important as sysctl settings isn't really on. Administrators expect the settings in /etc/sysctl.conf to take effect. One sto-gap solution would be to run sysctl -p twice; once at S17 and once at S41. There may still be some warnings and errors, but everything would be applied. A different, more complex approach might be to re-architect the sysctl configuration into something like; /etc/sysctl.d/$modulename and have the userland module-loading binaries take care of applying them after modules are loaded. Though this may take care of explicitly loaded modules only, I'm not sure. Incidentally, /etc/sysctl.conf still refers to /etc/networking/options, but hasn't that been deprecated?
