[Bug 1916715] Re: fails on install due to systemd-service/sysv-service mismatch and lack of mkdir

[Brian Murray]

Hello Christian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python-rtslib-fb into groovy-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-
rtslib-fb/2.1.73-1ubuntu4.1 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, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. 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.

** Changed in: python-rtslib-fb (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy

  The python3-rtslib-fb package fails to install.

  On install:

  [Test Plan]
  ===========

  To reproduce this bug, simply do the following:

  $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:groovy python-rtslib-fb-lp1916715-groovy

  $ lxc shell python-rtslib-fb-lp1916715-groovy

  [or shoot up a VM running Groovy]

  # apt update && apt upgrade && apt install linux-modules-
  extra-5.8.0-44-generic

  # reboot

  # apt install python3-rtslib-fb

  ...and this should fail to install.

  To make sure that this bug is indeed fixed, install the patched
  version of this package and that should install fine.

  Furthermore, check systemctl status rtslib-fb-targetctl.service and
  that should not report any problems.

  
  [Where problems could occur]
  ============================

  If someone has manually fixed the old service (manual mkdir, enable
  it, ...) or any such thing, then the fix might cause the update to
  behave a bit differently.
