It's important, since emergency mode is not meant to be used to install packages. emergency mode is only supposed to be entered if something fatal happened during boot.
Reinstalling broken package (like some broken systemd-udev-whatever thing I did not want to debug yet - which made me reinstall systemd and udev) is nothing you want to do in emergency mode?
Please learn that single user mode is perfectly fine for doing all weird things tou could imagine, including installing or removing things because one doesn't want to boot a full system. Please stop trying to force your ideas of how people should work by messing with their init systems.
Restarting a service should not be broken, and having a completely unusable system which seems to be locked but it is not is clearly a security issue, and not being able to return away from this is a grave bug. Actually one should discuss if a CVE number should be assigned here.No, not really. What we probably should do is mark emergency.service as RefuseManualStart=yes RefuseManualStop=yes because restarting it is stupid and needrestart shouldn't do it. It's like killing getty while you're logged in.
Then fix it. The way it behaves currently is a security issue. Saying that doing things 'is stupid' is not an excuse for having bugs. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Bernd Zeimetz Systems Engineer Debian Developer conova communications GmbH Web | http://www.conova.com/ E-Mail | b.zeim...@conova.com Zentrale Salzburg Karolingerstraße 36A 5020 Salzburg Tel | +43 (0) 662 22 00 - 313 Fax | +43 (0) 662 22 00 - 209 Es gelten die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen der conova communications GmbH, http://www.conova.com/de/agb/
