Package: systemd Version: 252.6-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package ships an empty directory (/usr/lib/modules-load.d/) which disappears after installation and removal of another package (e.g. multipath-tools) in a merged-/usr setup. This is not a bug in the other package, but an effect of our merged-/usr implementation. Side question first: does systemd evaluate both /usr/lib/modules-load.d/* and /lib/modules-load.d/* ? Otherwise all packages shipping something in /lib/modules-load.d/ are broken on unmerged-/usr because their config snippets are not being taken into account. This is happening to trigger the bug: systemd ships /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ (empty directory) multipath-tools ships /lib/modules-load.d/multipath.conf dpkg doesn't know that /lib/modules-load.d/ and /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ are the same, and therefore removal of multipath-tools causes removal of * /lib/modules-load.d/multipath.conf (OK) * /lib/modules-load.d/ (if it was the last owner of that directory), while it effectively is /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ getting removed When adding a placeholder file, it needs to be something that is ignored by the processing of the .d directory (the pattern could be *.conf, but I might be mistaken here). An alternative to shipping a placeholder file could be shipping /lib/modules-load.d/ as additional empty directory, but I don't know whether this would be allowed w.r.t. merged-/usr. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m39.2s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ owned by: systemd This is not caught by default piuparts tests as there is no test with systemd explicitly installed. I could not reproduce this issue in bullseye (and haven't tried to reproduce it in earlier releases). cheers, Andreas PS: packages shipping files in modules-load.d/ (in sid): # apt-file search /lib/modules-load.d/ aoetools: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/aoetools.conf dlm-controld: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/configfs.conf drbd-utils: /lib/modules-load.d/drbd.conf ecryptfs-utils: /lib/modules-load.d/ecryptfs.conf fwupd: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/fwupd-msr.conf iwd: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/pkcs8.conf libddccontrol0: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/ddccontrol-i2c-dev.conf mbpfan: /lib/modules-load.d/mbpfan.depend.conf multipath-tools: /lib/modules-load.d/multipath.conf open-vm-tools-desktop: /usr/lib/modules-load.d/open-vm-tools-desktop.conf osspd: /lib/modules-load.d/osspd.conf zfsutils-linux: /lib/modules-load.d/zfs.conf
