This bug was fixed in the package procps - 2:3.3.15-2ubuntu1 --------------- procps (2:3.3.15-2ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes: - debian/sysctl.d (Ubuntu-specific): + 10-console-messages.conf: stop low-level kernel messages on console. + 10-kernel-hardening.conf: add the kptr_restrict setting + 10-keyboard.conf.powerpc: mouse button emulation on PowerPC. + 10-ipv6-privacy.conf: add a file to sysctl.d to apply the defaults for IPv6 privacy extensions for interfaces. (LP: #176125, #841353) + 10-link-restrictions.conf: even though the Ubuntu kernel is built with these defaults in place, we want to make sure that people running stock kernels don't miss out. + 10-magic-sysrq.conf: Disable most magic sysrq by default, allowing critical sync, remount, reboot functions. (LP: #194676, LP: #1025467) + 10-network-security.conf: enable rp_filter. + 10-ptrace.conf: describe new PTRACE setting. + 10-zeropage.conf: safe mmap_min_addr value for graceful fall-back. for armhf, and arm64. + 10-qemu.conf.s390x for qemu. + README: describe how this directory is supposed to work. - debian/rules: Fix cross build - ignore_eaccess.patch: If we get eaccess when opening a sysctl file for writing, don't error out. Otherwise package upgrades can fail, especially in containers. - ignore_erofs.patch: Same as ignore_eaccess but for the case where part of /proc is read/only. procps (2:3.3.15-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix link in libprocps-dev Closes: 900239 * Fix typo in license Closes: #899346 -- Balint Reczey <rbal...@ubuntu.com> Tue, 05 Jun 2018 11:20:00 -0700 ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to procps in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719159 Title: 'service procps start' does nothing; outdated README Status in procps package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: /etc/sysctl.d/README says After making any changes, please run "service procps start" (or, from a Debian package maintainer script "invoke-rc.d procps start"). however running this command does absolutely nothing on Ubuntu 17.04 (and, presumably, any other Ubuntu version since systemd became the main init system). To actually get your changes written into /proc/sys, you have to do service procps reload Can you please update the README? (This is similar to bug 1332362, but I think that one was Upstart's fault.)
