open-iscsi-udeb : iscsid unable to start. Missing libsystemd.so.0 in installer
environment
PACKAGE:
open-iscsi-udeb (only a bug in the installer environment)
FIX REQUIRED:
* Add libsystemd0 to following packages in:
https://salsa.debian.org/linux-blocks-team/open-iscsi
debian/control
open-iscsi "Depends"
open-iscsi-udeb "Depends"
LOGIC/REASONING:
1) libsystemd is a "Build-Depends" for this package (but is omitted in the
run-time dependency list "Depends"
---
2) When running the debian-installer (partman-iscsi), this calls open-iscsi
package to setup ISCSI drives at install time
2.1) The iscsi setup fails because "/sbin/iscsid" cannot run due to being
unable to find "libsystemd0.so"
2.2) Further checks on the installer environment show that "libsystemd.so.0" is
not present in /lib directory
---
3) "libsystemd.so.0" is present once installed (so this is purely installer
related)
---
*) It also complains about missing "/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi" - but I am
hoping that is setup automatically once the daemon starts
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Run installer on an environment with a iSCSI Target setup (I used tgt on
QEMU)
2) On "Detect Disks" and "Partition Disks" go to "Configure iSCSI volumes"
3) Enter the host details for the iscsi target
-- FAILS --
4) Review the logs (Console and /var/logs/syslog)
-4.1 Shows that cannot start "iscsid"
Expected behavior is
1) iscsi daemon starts - and so can find the drives
2) Failing the above should be able to use the console from installer mode, to
discover the iSCSI drives on the target
