Public bug reported: Reboots via kexec-tools are only supported on SysV init systems. With systemd the only supported init system by now, kexec-tools should no longer ask (during installation) if reboots should be handled by kexec- tools.
There should be no user interaction required when installing the package. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 $ apt-cache policy kexec-tools kexec-tools: Installed: 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:2.0.15-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to kexec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713997 Title: kexec-tools should not ask to handle reboots Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Reboots via kexec-tools are only supported on SysV init systems.
