[Bug 1778936] Please test proposed package

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Michael, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/237-3ubuntu10.17 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

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.
