Before the introduction of systemd in Debian and Ubuntu, /etc/halt.local was not supported at all. Neither sysvinit nor upstart executed that file/script. So I'm mildly suprised, when you say "it always worked".
We decided to not introduce support for this legacy, sysv specific service, which after a bit of research seems to be Redhat (/sbin/halt.local) and SuSE (/etc/init.d/halt.local) specific. Adding /etc/halt.local to the mix would only confuse things. It's much better to create a native service file with systemd, and it's much easier. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532553 Title: /etc/halt.local has become /usr/sbin/halt.local To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1532553/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
