[ Dan Streetman ] * d/t/systemd-fsckd, d/t/cmdline-upstart-boot: - skip on s390x; requires grub (LP: #1830477) * d/p/ask-password-prevent-buffer-overrow-when-reading-fro.patch: - prevent buffer overflow when reading keyring (LP: #1814373) [ Dimitri John Ledkov ] * Specify Ubuntu's Vcs-Git [ Balint Reczey ] * Append /snap/bin to default PATH. Snapd ships snapd-env-generator, but systemd does not not support environment generators. Hard-coding /snap/bin is less risky than backporting environment generator support and since snaps are considered to be first class packages on Ubuntu /snap/bin can safely added to the default PATH. (LP: #1771858) [ Ioanna Alifieraki ] * d/p/systemctl-Replace-check_one_unit-by-get_state_one_un.patch - Backport upstream PR#2768 needed for next patch * d/p/systemctl-load-unit-if-needed-in-systemctl-is-active.patch - Backport upstream PR#7997 to fix alias service reports inactive while aliased is active (LP: #1828892) -- Dan Streetman <ddstr...@canonical.com> Wed, 24 Apr 2019 17:15:36 -0400 ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- 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/1828892 Title: systemctl - alias service reports inactive while aliased is active Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] 'systemctl is-active' command reports an alias service as inactive even though the aliased service is active. Currently the 'systemctl is-active' command does not load units to minimise its effect on the system (i.e. that a monitoring command does not itself alter the state of the system). However, this behaviour leads to inconsistencies when services are aliased. [Test case] - Test case 1 - libvirtd alias service : libvirtd aliased service : libvirt-bin /etc/systemd/system$ ls -la libvirtd.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 May 13 20:49 libvirtd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/libvirt-bin.service $ systemctl is-active libvirtd inactive $ systemctl is-active libvirt-bin active - Test case 2 - sshd alias service : sshd aliased service : ssh /ect/systemd/system$ ls -la sshd.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 19 19:44 sshd.service -> /lib/systemd/system/ssh.service $ systemctl is-active sshd inactive $ systemctl is-active ssh active [Regression Potential] This fix may result into systemctl reporting inconsistent information concerning the status of a service.
