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

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-4ubuntu5

---------------
systemd (229-4ubuntu5) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/udev.postinst: Don't fail if /var/log/udev is a directory.
    (LP: #1574004)
  * Set MAC based name for USB network interfaces only for universally
    administered (i. e. stable) MACs, not for locally administered (i. e.
    randomly generated) ones. Drop /lib/systemd/network/90-mac-for-usb.link
    (as link files don't currently support globs for MACAddress=) and replace
    with an udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/73-special-net-names.rules.
    (Closes: #812575, LP: #1574483)
  * debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Invoke status command with
    --no-pager, to avoid blocking scripts that call an init.d script with
    "status" with an unexpected pager process. (Closes: #765175, LP: #1576409)
  * Add debian/extra/rules/70-debian-uaccess.rules: Make FIDO U2F dongles
    accessible to the user session. This avoids having to install libu2f-host0
    (which isn't discoverable at all) to make those devices work.
    (LP: #1387908)
  * On shutdown, unmount /tmp before disabling swap. (Closes: #788303)

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 Released

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 15.10, 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.
