I thought earlier that this would be some error with update-rc.d.

I am sorry. Here is a rundown of the issue.

The postinst script for libnss-ldap calls invoke-rc.d start which would normally take care of part of the issue.

However the "local script policy" dictates that invoke-rc.d cannot be invoked on start actions for services that do not have start runlevels installed. Because this package has a default startlevel of (none) and only 3 stop levels (0 1 6) in its header inside the init script (/etc/init.d/libnss-ldap) invoke-rc.d will not do anything.

However it would be pointless to start it since this script only does someting on the stop action.

Regardless, without further ado it IS possible to start the script via systemd.

:

systemctl start libnss-ldap

just works.

The action is only performed on stop:

systemctl start libnss-ldap
systemctl stop libnss-ldap:

mei 13 13:51:29 ubuntu systemd[1]: Starting LSB: Updates /etc/ldap.conf...
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu libnss-ldap[9313]: Running
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu systemd[1]: Started LSB: Updates /etc/ldap.conf.
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu systemd[1]: Stopping LSB: Updates /etc/ldap.conf...
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu libnss-ldap[9322]: Running
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu libnss-ldap[9322]: * Running nssldap-update-ignoreusers...
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu libnss-ldap[9322]:    ...done.
mei 13 13:51:30 ubuntu systemd[1]: Stopped LSB: Updates /etc/ldap.conf.

as intended.

It is simply impossible for the postinst script to trigger this without either directly calling systemctl or by first channging, in that sense, update-rc.d. However if we add default start runlevels to the header file:

# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 6

The invoke-rc.d policy check will not trigger a 101 and doing:

invoke-rc.d libnss-ldap start
invoke-rc.d libnss-ldap stop

would trigger the effect.
