[Bug 1748147] Re: [SRU] debhelper support override from /etc/tmpfiles.d for systemd

 

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 237-3ubuntu10.2

---------------
systemd (237-3ubuntu10.2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * logind: backport v238/v239 fixes for handling DRM devices.
    These changes introduce all the fixes that correct handling of open fd's
    related to the DRM devices, as used by for example NVIDIA GPUs. This backport
    includes some refactoring, corrections, and comment updates. This to insure
    that correct history is preserved, code comments match reality, and to ease
    backporting logind fixes in the future SRUs. (LP: #1777099)
  * Disable dh_installinit generation of tmpfiles for the systemd package.
    Replace with a manual safe call to systemd-tmpfiles which will process any
    updates to the tmpfiles shipped by systemd package, taking into account any
    overrides shipped by other packages, sysadmin, or specified in the runtime
    directories. (LP: #1748147)

systemd (237-3ubuntu10.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * hwdb: Fix wlan/rfkill keycode on Dell systems. (LP: #1762385)
  * Cherrypick upstream fix for corrected detection of Virtualbox & Xen.
    (LP: #1768104)
  * Further improve captive portal workarounds.
    Retry any NXDOMAIN results with lower feature levels, instead of just those
    with 'secure' in the domain name. (LP: #1766969)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Add dependencies of libsystemd-shared to Pre-Depends.
    This is necessary so systemctl is functional at all times during a
    dist-upgrade. (Closes: #897986) (LP: #1771791)

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Fix hibernate disk offsets.
    Configure resume offset via sysfs, to enable resume from a swapfile.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  /var/log's Permission is going back to 755
  after upgrading systemd
  if there are rsyslog's configuration on /var/lib/tmpfiles.d/

  Affected X, A, B, C

  This is because rsyslog's pkg has 00rsyslog.conf and copied it on /var/lib/tmpfiles.d/ when it is installing.
  after upgrading systemd, systemd only refresh it's own tmpfiles so disappear conf for 00rsyslog.conf ( it doesn't remove file itself )
  so, systemd-tmpfiles --create /var/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf back permission to 775

  [Test Case]

  1. deploy 16.04 vm
  2. check ll /var (775)
  3. apt install --reinstall systemd
  4. check ll /var (755)

  [Regression Potential]
  This fix changes debhelper's override process by using absolute path to filename. so if the other pkgs using debhelper e.g systemd are there, It should be re-build with new debhelper after patching in theory, now only systemd is affected. but building is not affected. also, pkg like rsyslog which is using systemd's tmpfile system need to be changed to use /etc/tmpfiles.d/[SAME_FILENAME_IN_VAR_LIB_TMPFILES.D_FOR_OVERRIDING] instead of 00rsyslog.conf.

  [Others]

  For this issue, need to fix below pkgs

  debhelper
  systemd ( rebuilding with new debhelper is needed )
  rsyslog ( 00rsyslog.conf to var.conf and location should be /etc/tmpfiles.d, to support override supported by debhelper )

  [Original description]

  Upgrading or reinstalling the systemd package when using rsyslogd
  results in bad permissions (0755 instead of 0775) being set on
  /var/log/. As a consequence of this, rsyslogd can no longer create new
  files within this directory, resulting in lost log messages.

  The default configuration of rsyslogd provided by Ubuntu runs the
  daemon as syslog:syslog and sets ownership of /var/log to syslog:adm
  with mode 0775.

  Systemd's default tmpfiles configuration sets /var/log to 0755 in
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf, however this is overridden in
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf which is provided by package
  rsyslog.

  It looks as though an upgrade of the systemd package fails to take
  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf into account, as demonstrated
  below. This results in /var/log receiving mode 0755 instead of the
  expected 0775:
