The use case is to use systemd-import inside an initrd. With https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/pull/2158 you could boot like this:
rd.systemd.pull=tar,machine,verify=no:root:http://cloud- images.ubuntu.com/minimal/releases/questing/release/ubuntu-25.10-minimal- cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz root=bind:/run/machines/root ip=dhcp systemd-import needs the archive feature to read the tarball. When libarchive is not installed in the systemd, libarchive cannot be included in the initrd and systemd-import will fail to read the tarball. So having an explicit Depends: or Recommends: on libarchive for systemd- container would be good. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2139822 Title: systemd-importd uses libarchive but systemd-container does not depend/recommend it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2139822/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
