Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: serious
Followup-For: Bug #764616
Dear Maintainer,
I would like to perhaps further clarify and summarize the bug.
The problem is that rsync, when installed, is not installed as
an "enabled" systemd service by default. That means that after
a default wheezy to jessie upgrade, rsync silently stops being
started even if it has /etc/rsyncd.conf and used to get started
with sysvinit.
I believe the service should always be enabled by default; since
there is no /etc/rsyncd.conf by default (I think) it will not start
anyway, but that's something up to the user. The true issue here
is that even if /etc/rsyncd.conf exists, the user has to manually do
systemctl enable rsync
after upgrade to restore working rsync, without a way about
learning about that. No other services require this manual enable
step during an upgrade (or I did not notice them not running yet ;-).
I believe this breakage on upgrade is an rc bug that would be still
good to fix soon with an update within stable. Therefore, I'm
proposing an rc-grade severity for it.
Thanks!
