[Bug 1575572] Re: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package init-system-helpers - 1.29ubuntu2

---------------
init-system-helpers (1.29ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * invoke-rc.d: Under systemd, "runlevel" only switches to 3 or 5 when
    multi-user.target/graphical.target have been reached, not before.
    Adjust the runlevel check accordingly. This is only relevant for the check
    for wrong/dangling rcN.d/ symlinks, so just pin it to "5" (the precise
    value does not matter much). Fixing this in systemd requires bigger
    architectural changes, so use this tiny (and backportable) bandaid for the
    time being. (LP: #1575572)

Bug description:
  SRU TEST CASE:

  Using the following cloud config, apache2 will fail to start on
  installation on Xenial:

  #cloud-config
  packages:
  - apache2

  See for example:

  $ gcloud compute instances create xenial-$(date +%y%m%d-%H%M) --image ubuntu-1604-xenial-v20160420c --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud --metadata-from-file user-data=cloud-config
  NAME                ZONE            MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP    STATUS
  xenial-160427-1050  europe-west1-d  n1-standard-1               10.240.0.7   104.155.86.94  RUNNING

  $ ssh ubuntu at 104.155.86.94 systemctl status apache2.service
  ● apache2.service - LSB: Apache2 web server
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/apache2; bad; vendor preset: enabled)
    Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d
             └─apache2-systemd.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

  With the fixed init-system-helpers, apache2.service (or any other
  service you install via "packages:") should start correctly.
