[Bug 1574004] Re: package udev 229-4ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: /var/log/udev is a directory

[Brian Murray]

Hello Erich, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/229-4ubuntu5
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
  package udev 229-4ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: /var/log/udev is
  a directory

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  upgrade to 16.04 failed

  SRU INFORMATION
  ---------------
  Fix: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?h=ubuntu-xenial&id=d133b04

  Test case: Install trusty, remove the /var/log/udev file, and make it
  a directory (sudo mkdir -p /var/log/udev). Upgrade to 16.04 (at least
  udev). This will fail on this error with the xenial version, but
  should succeed with this fix.

  Regression potential: practically zero. This only ignores errors on
  the rm of the old log file.
