Package: mariadb-server-10.3 Version: 1:10.3.16-1 Severity: normal Hi,
mariadb-server ships a mariadb.service systemd unit file and a SysV init script named /etc/init.d/mysql. To align the two names, it uses [Install] Alias=mysql.service This is suboptimal, as only when the service is enabled, that symlink is created. It would be better, if mariadb-server-10.3 ships a static symlink in package /lib/systemd/system/mysql.service -> mariadb.service Take network-manager as an example, where the upstream service file is named NetworkManager.service and the init script /etc/init.d/network-manager. It ships the following symlink: /lib/systemd/system/network-manager.service -> NetworkManager.service https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/network-manager/blob/master/debian/network-manager.links Thanks for considering Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.72 ii galera-3 25.3.26-1 ii gawk 1:4.2.1+dfsg-1.1 ii iproute2 5.2.0-1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libdbi-perl 1.642-1+b1 ii libgnutls30 3.6.8-2 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libstdc++6 9.1.0-8 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 ii lsof 4.91+dfsg-1 ii mariadb-client-10.3 1:10.3.16-1 ii mariadb-common 1:10.3.16-1 ii mariadb-server-core-10.3 1:10.3.16-1 ii passwd 1:4.7-2 ii perl 5.28.1-6 ii psmisc 23.2-1 ii rsync 3.1.3-6 ii socat 1.7.3.2-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 recommends: ii libhtml-template-perl 2.97-1 Versions of packages mariadb-server-10.3 suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20180807cvs-1 pn mariadb-test <none> ii netcat-openbsd 1.195-2 ii tinyca 0.7.5-6 -- Configuration Files: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mariadb-server-10_3 [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.paranoid/mariadb-server-10_3' /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mariadb-server-10_3 [Errno 13] Keine Berechtigung: '/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/mariadb-server-10_3' -- debconf information excluded
