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

 

Hi Paul,

thanks for the details.

I meant the result of "initctl show-config" in the running Ubuntu booted
from the remastered image. At the time when you get the crash report.
Not in the chroot env.

The output you get in the chroot env (no value) is expected, since
initctl is deactivated in that scope.

We have to check if the same thing (initctl deactivated) is still
happening in your live (or installed) Ubuntu for some strange reason.

Maybe the chroot session while remastering was not reverted back
properly.

How do you exit the chroot session?

It might also help if you attached your build.log from the remastering.

Another question: what happens when you "apt-get update" and "apt-get
dist-upgrade" in the live or installed ubuntu (after you disabled
apport).

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).

  Our build logs available upon request, but the scripts to setup the chroot to recreate it are here:

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

  someone else's build log:

  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
