Package: systemd Version: 215-6 Severity: serious We restart systemd-journald in postinst on upgrades [0]. Unfortunately, this breaks other services like network-manager [1].
There was a recent discussion on #systemd, where Lennart mentioned in a related context (full IRC log is attached), that restarting journald is a bad idea, as it is not properly supported atm: <poettering> JayF: but note that restarting journald to actually make it count is not really that good an idea <poettering> JayF: since we cannot push the stdout/stderr fds everywhere we will just close them <poettering> that means as you restart journald you lose the stdout/stderr output of all daemons, and you cannot get it back Unfortunately I failed to write a better commit message when I added the restart to postinst [2]. I *think* I added it because I noticed problems on upgrades, when systemd was re-execd and the new systemd was talking to the old journald, i.e. a v204 systemd talking to a v44 journald led to garbage in the journal log. I'm not sure if we can just drop the restart completely. There is also [3], where the location of the syslog socket has changed. Maybe the least invasive change is, to move the systemd-journald restart into the if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl "215-3"; then fi section, so it's only run once, and not on every upgrade. Marking this as serious, since we need to find a solution for this for jessie.
