Note that the workaround here is to edit the file in /etc/init.d/ manually and remove the circular dependency. If somebody familiar could detail the exact edit here for the benefit of others, that would be appreciated.
Local changes to /etc will be preserved on package upgrades. Since there is a workaround, this issue is not critical. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance for definitions. I'm editing the subject line of the bug to avoid users getting unrealistic expectations of an imminent fix. If somebody would like to volunteer debdiffs that we can upload to fix this, please do. nbd is already fixed in newer releases, so see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure for what you need to do for stable releases. I don't understand what exactly is the problem with the other packages that others have added tasks for. It would be helpful if someone could explain each one using the form of a normal bug report (steps to reproduce, etc). In particular, it is not helpful to assume that the same error message means that it is the same bug, since if it turns out not to be the case, then it just leads to a whole bunch of confusion in the same bug. If in doubt, please use separate bugs to track different initially. ** Summary changed: - CRITICAL BUG: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job NetworkManager.service/start + Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job NetworkManager.service/start -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487679 Title: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job NetworkManager.service/start Status in systemd: Fix Released Status in avahi package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in nbd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in nfs-utils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in rpcbind package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in avahi source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in nbd source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in network-manager source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in nfs-utils source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in rpcbind source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in systemd source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in util-linux source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in nbd package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 15.04 Release: 15.04 $ apt-cache policy nbd-client nbd-client: Installed: 1:3.8-4ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 1:3.8-4ubuntu0.1 Version table: *** 1:3.8-4ubuntu0.1 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.8-4 0 500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages I'm using the nbd-client to mount some raw disk images over the network but starting the nbd-client automatically during bootup does not happen due to the following: Aug 22 08:54:20 fractal kernel: [ 11.875885] systemd[1]: Found dependency on nbd-client.service/start Aug 22 08:54:20 fractal kernel: [ 11.875890] systemd[1]: Breaking ordering cycle by deleting job nbd-client.service/start Aug 22 08:54:20 fractal kernel: [ 11.875891] systemd[1]: Job nbd-client.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with basic.target/start Meaning after boot, I have to manually run `sudo ndb-client start` every time I want to access these images.
