Package: systemd Version: 227-2 Severity: normal systemctl disable --now foo.service is supposed to stop and disable a service (there is also an equivalent enable --now command). I just tried that with firewalld and got:
# systemctl disable --now firewalld Synchronizing state of firewalld.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install... Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable firewalld insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `firewalld' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `firewalld' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6). Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service. Failed to stop dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service: Unit dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service not loaded. The firewalld service is not stopped as a result firewalld.service has [Install] WantedBy=basic.target Alias=dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service systemd/systemctl seems to stop the service via the aliased name and we remove the symlink beforehand. Seems to me, that systemctl should actually try to stop firewalld.service, and not dbus-org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.service. I haven't checked yet if this is an downstream bug (due to our systemd-sysv-install script) or something which needs to be fixed upstream. So I'm filing this against our bug tracker for now. We should probably add an autopkgtest for that :-) -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libapparmor1 2.10-2+b1 ii libaudit1 1:2.4.4-4 ii libblkid1 2.27.1-1 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libcap2 1:2.24-12 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-12 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.6-5 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.4-3 ii libkmod2 21-1 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 ii libmount1 2.27.1-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libseccomp2 2.2.3-2 ii libselinux1 2.3-2+b1 ii libsystemd0 227-3~test0 ii mount 2.27.1-1 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-59.2 ii util-linux 2.27.1-1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.10.2-1 ii libpam-systemd 227-3~test0 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii systemd-container 227-3~test0 ii systemd-ui 3-4 Versions of packages systemd is related to: ii udev 227-3~test0 -- no debconf information
