[Bug 1766574] [NEW] Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

[Björn Tillenius]

Public bug reported:

If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing
rsyslog fails with the following error:

  /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds.

This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic.

A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic
image and try to install rsyslog in there.
