Title:
please re-add Support-system-image-read-only-etc.patch
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Bionic:
Fix Committed
Status in systemd source package in Cosmic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
* core18 systems fail to update hostname
* this happens due to /etc/hostname actually being a symlink to a file under /etc/writable/, adjust hostnamed to take that into account when trying to update /etc/hostname
[Test Case]
* run a core18 system, check that dhcp acquire hostname is correctly
updated in /etc/writable/hostname
[Regression Potential]
* This is cherrypick of code that has gone missing since xenial.
* There is no change of behaviour for the classic systems.
* Currently, core18 systems simply fail to update hostname/machine-info files, thus the worst case is that they will still fail to do so.
[Other Info]
* original bug report
The 16.04 version of systemd had a patch to support the read-only etc.
For core18 we will also need this change because core18 is still not
on a fully writable etc.
I will attach a debdiff against the current bionic version of systemd.
