Package: systemd Version: 247.3-5 I'm upgrading my machines from buster to bullseye, my machines have the following as contents of the /etc/tmpfiles.d/rpcbind.conf file:
#Type Path Mode UID GID Age Argument d /run/rpcbind 0755 root root - - f /run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr 0600 root root - - f /run/rpcbind/portmap.xdr 0600 root root - - EOF And systemd fails to install with the following error, causing apt to exit: Preconfiguring packages ... Setting up systemd (247.3-5) ... /etc/tmpfiles.d/rpcbind.conf:5: Syntax error. dpkg: error processing package systemd (--configure): installed systemd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 65 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of systemd-sysv: systemd-sysv depends on systemd; however: Package systemd is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package systemd-sysv (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: systemd systemd-sysv E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I can "fix" the file by removing the "EOF" line. So I suppose that the bug is that an old version of debian wrote the EOF line and then is being rejected by the newer bullseye. It remains to be seen if the EOF is actually necessary for the function of rpcbind. Charles
