[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1868892@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 245.5-2ubuntu1

---------------
systemd (245.5-2ubuntu1) groovy; urgency=medium

  * Merge to Ubuntu from Debian unstable
    - Dropped changes: none

systemd (245.5-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick various fixes from upstream master
    - network: add a flag to ignore gateway provided by DHCP server
    - userdb: when doing client-side NSS look-ups optionally avoid shadow
      look-ups
    - nss-systemd: don't synthesize root/nobody when iterating
    - core: make sure we don't get confused when setting TERM for a tty fd
    - core: make sure to restore the control command id, too
  * Install 60-block.rules in udev-udeb and initramfs-tools.
    The block device rules were split out from 60-persistent-storage.rules
    into its own rules file in v220. Those rules ensure that change events
    are emitted and the udev db is updated after metadata changes.
    Thanks to Pascal Hambourg (Closes: #958397)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * New upstream version 245.5
  * Rebase patches

  [ Dan Streetman ]
  * Follow symlinks when finding link files to copy into initramfs.
    If the /{etc,lib}/systemd/network directory itself is a symlink, the find
    command will not actually find any of the files in the dir it links to.
    Use the find -L param to follow symlinks.
    (LP: #1868892)
  * Remove Ubuntu-specific ondemand.service.
    New processors handle scaling/throttling in internal firmware
    (e.g. intel_pstate), and do not require OS config.
    Additionally, nobody else does this, not even Debian.

Bug description:
  [impact]

  If the /{etc,lib}/systemd/network directory itself is a symlink, the find
  command will not actually find any of the files in the dir it links to.

  [test case]

  $ sudo touch /etc/systemd/network/lp1868892.link
  $ sudo update-initramfs -u
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-21-generic
  ...
  $ sudo lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-21-generic | grep lp1868892
  usr/lib/systemd/network/lp1868892.link
  $ sudo mv /etc/systemd/network /etc/systemd/network.abc
  $ sudo ln -s network.abc /etc/systemd/network
  $ sudo update-initramfs -u
  $ sudo lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-21-generic | grep lp1868892
  $ 

  [regression potential]

  this adjusts how link files are included in the initramfs, so
  regressions would likely occur when creating new initramfs, such as
  failure to create initramfs at all, or failure to properly copy link
  files into the initramfs, causing network setup failure.

  [scope]

  this is a Debian/Ubuntu specific file, and the Debian MR was just
  opened, so this is needed for Debian and all releases of Ubuntu.

  [other info]

  This bug likely has a very limited impact, as it is uncommon to
  symlink either the /lib/systemd/network or /etc/systemd/network dirs.

  [original description]

  If one creates e.g. /etc/systemd/network.cu and
  /etc/systemd/network.fc and symlinks  /etc/systemd/network to one of
  them, network setup will fail on reboot, because /usr/share/initramfs-
  tools/hooks/udev does a very poor job: it simply checks for a
  directory instead of the link files and therefore skips copying
  required files to the ram image. Another poor job is done when copying
  the files to the ram image: instead of following symlinks it copies
  them as which in turn makes them useless, because it does not copy the
  related dirs and thus the symlinks point to nothing. So keeping the
  system in an consistent state which such poor scripts is very hard,
  asking for trouble.

  Suggested fix is attached.
