[Bug 1844879] Re: Behaviour change in systemd 243 breaks libvirt autopkgtest

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Not sure yet what we could do on the libvirt side.
For the time being reverting it on systems (as suggested by rbalint) might be the better fix.

  Behaviour change in systemd 243 breaks libvirt autopkgtest

Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  With systemd 243 libvirt autopkgtest starts failing:

  The behaviour change is still present in systemd master
  (v243-112-g984b96aa7a)

  I can revert the change in systemd, but it also fixes an issue reported at upstream.
  I will take another look later, but wanted to document my findings.
