Giving that I have seen this bug before with my machines, it is only
the first time I am reporting and being the first reporter so I am
with you, this is some setting in my site or my machine.
With more reasearch with help from the local specialist I found a
an extra iSCSI setup to a local appliance that I not longer need. So
I remove it from /etc/iscsi. Doing again a:
dpkg --configure -a
Setting up open-iscsi (2.1.3-5) ...
open-iscsi postinst: since the check in preinst some iSCSI sessions have
failed. -> will wait 30s for automatic recovery
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.140) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-8-amd64
This time it succeeds. So this probably is a problem on my machine.
May I suggest for you to increase the timeout from 30s to 60 or 120s?
Mine reasoning is that my machine boots fast enough for me not
investigate more my iSCSI connections, but probably the iSCSI
appliance is giving authentication timeout and so the increased need
for a longer timeout on open-iscsi postinst. Making the package more
robust.
We may talk more about this problem and I offer my time and machine to
do research on to improve the package if you see benefit on that. But
I will not keep the bug open if you want to close it.
Kind regards
