[Bug 1447807] Re: systemctl enable shows error on enabling a SysV service

 

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 219-7ubuntu5

---------------
systemd (219-7ubuntu5) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Revert upstream commit 743970d which immediately SIGKILLs units during
    shutdown. This leads to problems like bash not being able to write its
    history, mosh not saving its state, and similar failed cleanup actions.
    (LP: #1448259)
  * ifup@.service: Set IgnoreOnIsolate, so that "systemctl default" does not
    shut down network interfaces. (LP: #1449380). Add PartOf=network.target,
    so that stopping network.target also stops network interfaces.
  * 75-persistent-net-generator.rules: Fix rules for ibmveth (it's a driver,
    not a subsystem). (LP: #1437375)
  * debian/tests/unit-config: Add tests for systemctl enable/disable on a
    SysV-only unit. Reproduces LP #1447807.
  * Fix systemctl enable for SysV scripts without a native unit. We must not
    try and enable the nonexisting unit then. (LP: #1447807)

Bug description:
  SRU TEST CASE:
  --------------
  Trying to enable a SysV init service which does not have a corresponding systemd unit results in an error:

  # systemctl enable pulseaudio
  Synchronizing state for pulseaudio.service with sysvinit using update-rc.d...
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d pulseaudio defaults
  Executing /usr/sbin/update-rc.d pulseaudio enable
  Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory

  /etc/init.d/pulseaudio actually does get enabled (check
  /etc/rc*/*pulse*), but the command fails with code 1 and you get that
  error message. With the fix the command succeeds.

  SRU Regression potential
  ------------------------
  Low, the modes for "sysv script + systemd unit" as well as "systemd unit only" already have automatic tests, and now this scenario ("sysv script only") has a test too. In the worst case this has the potential of completely breaking systemctl enable/disable, which can be worked around with changing symlinks manually, and isn't breaking the boot.
