Can you explain in a bit details, why are you installing rsyslog without an init system? and what do you expect the net result of said action to be? Given that it would not result in rsyslog running at all.
I see the minimal reproducer, but what is the actual top-level goal/use- case here? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to rsyslog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766574 Title: Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found Status in cloud-images: New Status in rsyslog package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu Bionic docker container missing Priority: Import; Task:minimal package. -- If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing rsyslog fails with the following error: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds. This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic. A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic image and try to install rsyslog in there.
