Package: systemd Version: 254.5-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: max+b...@prehl.us
Dear Maintainer, I am new to submitting bug reports so please bear with me. I am running Debian Sid in WSL1. As of a few releases ago, systemd and systemd-timesyncd started using systemd-sysusers in their dpkg postinst scripts. It was during some system upgrades that I found out that systemd-sysusers is quite broken on the WSL1 system due to a bad lock implementation. You can see several reports in this post: - https://superuser.com/a/1805742/1298503 I was able to work around this issue by following some of the advice in the thread. Moving the postinst scripts temporarily, then running dpkg --configure, then putting them back. It was while exploring these scripts that I found the references to systemd-sysusers. I tried using systemd-sysusers on it's own and it will not work AT ALL, it only produces the error: `Failed to take /etc/passwd lock: Permission denied` Because it was so badly broken, i also opened a report on the systemd upstream repo: - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29512 I'm hoping at the very least that Debian can build in some fallbacks in the postinst scripts so that we are still able to update our systems on WSL1 without intense workarounds. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft (UP) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-3 ii libaudit1 1:3.1.1-1 ii libblkid1 2.39.2-2 ii libc6 2.37-12 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.6.1-5 ii libfdisk1 2.39.2-2 ii libgcrypt20 1.10.2-3 ii libkmod2 30+20230601-2 ii liblz4-1 1.9.4-1 ii liblzma5 5.4.4-0.1 ii libmount1 2.39.2-2 ii libp11-kit0 0.25.0-4 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+b3 ii libselinux1 3.5-1 ii libssl3 3.0.11-1 ii libsystemd-shared 254.5-1 ii libsystemd0 254.5-1 ii libzstd1 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 ii mount 2.39.2-2 ii systemd-dev 254.5-1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.10-1 ii systemd-timesyncd [time-daemon] 254.5-1 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii libfido2-1 1.13.0-1 pn libqrencode4 <none> pn libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 <none> pn libtss2-mu0 <none> pn libtss2-rc0 <none> pn polkitd <none> ii python3 3.11.4-5+b1 pn python3-pefile <none> pn systemd-boot <none> pn systemd-container <none> pn systemd-homed <none> pn systemd-resolved <none> pn systemd-userdbd <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: ii dbus-user-session 1.14.10-1 pn dracut <none> pn initramfs-tools <none> pn libnss-systemd <none> ii libpam-systemd 254.5-1 ii udev 254.5-1 -- no debconf information
