But ultimately, log file syntax does change over time, tooling needs to be updated, and the time to make changes is in new Ubuntu releases (rather than existing ones). So in principle I think it's acceptable to make this change even though some log analysis may fail until those analysers are updated. However, it does seem quite late in the day to make this change for Focal. It gives us less time to find tooling in the archive that may need updating, and less time for the out-of-archive community to adjust, too. Thomas has expressed the same opinion to me on IRC. So on that basis, it looks like we'll be keeping the status quo for Focal, and maybe changing it in Focal+1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743592 Title: NGINX fails to start/install/upgrade if IPv6 is completely disabled.
