Dropping #TMPFILES# means, systemd-tmpfiles will act on all tmpfiles. This would be a bit like if upgrading rsyslog would restart all system services (including rsyslog). That doesn't feel right. So I don't think dropping #TMPFILES# is the right approach. If I understand you correctly, your issue is the following: The systemd package ships /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf containing d /var/log 0755 - - - The rsyslog package ships /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/00rsyslog.conf containing z /var/log 0775 root syslog - So you have conflicting definitions for /var/log and you rely on the systemd-tmpfiles to always process all .conf files and you rely on the sort-order to ensure that the definition in var.conf is skipped? systemd.postinst has a call systemd-tmpfiles --create ... /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf That means if the postinst of systemd is processed after rsyslog or only the systemd package is upgraded, your /var/log/ permissions are reset to the systemd defaults? TBH, that all sounds like a very brittle setup, to rely on the sort-ordering and systemd-tmpfiles always acting on all files. Overriding existing tmpfiles configs this way seems hacky, not sure if upstream intended it to be used like this. I note that this is an Ubuntu specific problem, the Debian rsyslog package does not ship such a config. Dunno what the best solution is for your specific case. Maybe diverting /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/var.conf in the rsyslog package? You could also ask upstream, maybe they have an idea how to solve this in a more robust way. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
