[Bug 1542025] Re: Show warning on upgrade if there are /etc/init/*.override files

 

OK. Packages don't have a good way of presenting such a warning, so this
would need to go into the  release upgrader.

** Summary changed:

- Transition from upstart to systemd should  honor /etc/init/*.override
+ Show warning on upgrade if there are /etc/init/*.override files

** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu)
       Status: Won't Fix => Triaged

Title:
  Show warning on upgrade if there are /etc/init/*.override files

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  While upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04, I noticed that all of my
  previously disabled services got started again.

  I disabled them by putting "manual" in e.g. /etc/init/isc-dhcp-
  server.conf - which is the "right" way I think. Luckily, there was no
  harm in my case, but this can put many people in risk by e.g. letting
  starting server services which are then accessible outside or even
  disrupt networks (like dhcp-servers). So in my oppinion the transition
  to systemd should honor "manual" flags in .override files - or at
  least warn if there are .override files.
