Is a unit with \ continuation lines present in Ubuntu packages? ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696206 Title: systemd drops lists concatenated with EOF Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Disclaimer: I originally posted this on Gallium OS's bug tracker but was told that Gallium pulls directly from upstream Ubuntu.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1696206] Re: systemd drops lists concatenated with EOF
I have no idea what Gallium OS is. And indeed launchpad, Ubuntu project only tracks Ubuntu bugs and Official Flavours. Gallium OS is not an official Ubuntu flavour. You may want to report this upstream. I do not think this is a bug at all, as new lines are not a valid syntax of systemd units, which is strict, and does not allow multi-line stanzas like that. Valid syntax is: Conflicts=ServiceA.service ServiceB.service Conflicts=ServiceC.service As in, space-separated single line value, and the Conflicts= can be repeated multiple times and the values will be concantenated. If you have further questions please see errors in the journal, from systemd about processing/loading that unit, or seek support from systemd community mailing list. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696206 Title: systemd drops lists concatenated with EOF Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Disclaimer: I originally posted this on Gallium OS's bug tracker but was told that Gallium pulls directly from upstream Ubuntu.
