Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: bookworm User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu X-Debbugs-Cc: runit-servi...@packages.debian.org, plore...@disroot.org Control: affects -1 + src:runit-services
[ Reason ] The version in stable (0.5.4) is currently affected by #1033542, where in most cases the dhclient service fails to start and syslog is flooded with failure messages at a very high rate, hiding other potentially relevant logs. The flood is a consequence of runit supervision design: when a service wanted status is 'up' and the service crashes, it's automatically restarted after a 1 second grace time. Bug #1033542 was filed with severity 'normal' during the freeze and at the time I thought that it was not worth an unblock request; now, given several complains I've received about this, I'm reconsidering. Dhclient is enabled and started by default for runit-init users; it may take time to notice the flood on syslog and even then, for a user that is not expert in runit, it's not easy to understand what is causing it. The attached debdiff is for a no change rebuild of the same version that is currently in unstable/testing [ Tests ] I tested the fix personally and it solves the issue [ Risks ] Low [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] * stop hardcoding eth1 in dhclient run file * adapt the check file for empty $INTERFACE Regards, Lorenzo
