[Bug 1325142] Re: failure to update libpam-systemd in 14.04 due to missing logind init script

 

Similar problem here. I'm using UCK (Ubuntu Customization Kit) to create
a custom 64-bit Xubuntu 14.04 image.

When in chroot (via uck-remaster-chroot-rootfs) it is not possible to
upgrade oder dist-upgrade. It will fail with the described dependency
errors.

Besides libpam-systemd and whoopsie I also have it happening on the
linux-image:

linux-signed-image-3.13.0-24-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic (= 3.13.0-24.47) but 3.13.0-24.46 is installed
                                        Depends: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic (= 3.13.0-24.47) but 3.13.0-24.46 is installed

For libpam-systemd and whoopsie I can workaround it by editing the
following files as described by hamish:

  /var/lib/dpkg/info/whoopsie.prerm
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd\:amd64.prerm
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd\:amd64.postinst

(change "exit $?" to "exit 0" in the invoke-rc.d lines)

The linux-image fails on something different. There is a "unexpected fi"
occurring in the following files:

  /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub
  /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub

They contain an if statement with the if body commented out so the 'fi'
directly follows the 'then' which is a syntax error:

  if [ -e /boot/grub/grub.cfg ]; then
      #exec update-grub
  fi

Also commenting out the 'if' and 'fi' lines works around it.

Btw. the method by Silvia (putting the packages on hold) does not work
for me, because it will fail to create the /boot/vmlinz-* files which I
need for my modifications.

Title:
  failure to update libpam-systemd in 14.04 due to missing logind init
  script

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  while running inside an i386 lubuntu 14.04 chroot, upgrading libpam-
  systemd to version 204-5ubuntu20.2 fails leaving dpkg in a broken
  state. 'apt-get -f install' from within the chroot will not fix it,
  but if the build is made bootable and put into a iso/VM you can
  recover that way in a live session.

  the problem seems to be the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpam-systemd:i386.prerm script failing to bring down the logind daemon with 'invoke-rc.d systemd-logind stop', because invoke-rd.d is only looking for the /etc/init.d/ script (doesn't exist) and not /etc/init/systemd-logind.conf (does exist).
  ?

  In a web-search I notice a few others running into the same bug,

  launchpad bug #1323575 seems to be a duplicate of this one.

  
  perhaps related to older launchpad bug #1305395 ?

  note we are also suffering from a failure with update-initramfs, not sure of the root cause of that one but I thought I'd mention it in case they were related, since they both started happening about the same time, a couple weeks ago. (launchpad bug #1317602)
  It all worked ok after the inital releases of 14.04, so something to do with a package update since then.

  
  thanks,
  Hamish
