Public bug reported:
Disclaimer: I originally posted this on Gallium OS's bug tracker but was told
that Gallium pulls directly from upstream Ubuntu. The original bug report can
be found here:
https://github.com/GalliumOS/galliumos-distro/issues/369
Release: Gallium OS
Package: systemd
When a systemd target file contains a "Conflicts" list at the end of the
file and does not provide a blank line between the end of the list and
the end of the file the list is silently dropped.
This is easier to demonstrate than it is to explain.
Take the following files:
`ServiceA.service`, `ServiceB.service`, and `ServiceC.service` are identical:
```
[Unit]
Description=This service just remains on
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStart=/home/keeton/Permanent/Scripts/StayRunning.sh
```
`StayRunning.sh` is:
```
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
sleep 3
done
```
The three services launch a script that keeps on running indefinitely.
This target, `WillTurnOff.target`, will stop all three services as we would
expect:
```
[Unit]
Description=This target will turn off Service's A, B, and C
Conflicts= \
ServiceA.service \
ServiceB.service \
ServiceC.service \
```
This target, `WillNotTurnOff.target`, will **not** stop the stop the services:
```
[Unit]
Description=This target will *not* turn off Service's A, B, and C
Conflicts= \
ServiceA.service \
ServiceB.service \
ServiceC.service \
```
Notice the difference. `WillTurnOff.target` contains a blank line
between the last item on the list and the end of the file.
Several things to note:
* I'm pretty sure that this is a bug in systemd, but Gallium's on systemd
version 229, which is more than two versions behind the latest version.
* I'm guessing that systemd is concatenating the EOF onto the list since the
list ends with a backslash.
* Shouldn't systemd at least spit out a warning that something is wrong?
** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
