Indeed this isn't related to native systemd units vs. sysvinit scripts. > honor this historical behavior by making the 'runlevel' command return the target runlevel when called from a systemd unit that's run at boot, even if that target has not yet been reached.
OK, I wasn't aware of that. I'll look into that. > d.) output of runlevel is stored in RL and then it goes looking for an SLINK or SSLINK (/etc/rc$RL.d/S??apache2 or /etc/rcS.d/S??apache2). Neither of these exist so it exits without starting the service. To be sure we are talking about the same thing: Surely update-rc.d should run before invoke-rc.d in the postinst, so the links should exist in rc[2345].d/. This is solely about $RL having the wrong value here, not about the links not existing at all, right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575572 Title: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1575572/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
