Source: qemu
Version: 1:3.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Hi,
Currently qemu is using debhelper compat version 9 and is calling
dh_installinit for qemu-guest-agent.
The problem is that this version of dh_installinit is also starting the
agent if it's running on systemd and the systemd service is not checking
if it's running in a VM with virtio or not.
AFAICS, the best way to fix this is to bump the debhelper compat version
to 12 so dh_installinit is not starting the systemd service, and override
the dh_installsystemd target to not start the service.
something like should be fine with dh compat version set to >= 12 (not tested):
dh_installinit -pqemu-guest-agent
dh_installsystemd -pqemu-guest-agent --no-start --no-enable
That should allow to install the qemu-guest-agent package on bare metal
machine or a VM not using virtio. ATM the package fails to install
because of this. I set the severity of this bug to importent as this
package is not often used and the description contains a disclaimer
telling it should run in a guest, but in reallity it should be RC.
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
