[Bug 1748147] Re: [SRU] debhelper support override from /etc/tmpfiles.d for systemd

[Robie Basak]

Hello Nick, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/229-4ubuntu21.5 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 on 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-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. 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 removed: verification-done
** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  /var/log's Permission is going back to 755 after upgrading systemd
  if rsyslog is installed (default)

  [Resolution]
  Ensure that dh_installinit does not "helpfully" generate partial systemd-tmpfiles snippets in systemd package postinst.

  Ensure that a generic systemd-tmpfiles call is done in systemd
  postinst, which takes into account /all/ configurations, not just
  some.

  [Regression Potential]

   * This fix was already tested in bionic and works well there.

   * Bad autogenerated calls to systemd-tmpfiles are removed from
  systemd postinst, and replaced by a call that takes all configs into
  account, thus this is a very safe thing to do - and simply repeats
  what is done on boot, thus is as safe as it gets.

  [Test Case]

  1. Launch xenila container
  2. ls -latr /var
  3. apt install --reinstall systemd
  4. ls -latr /var

  The ownership, group and permissions for /var/log should remain the
  same.
