This is a direct consequence of bug 1575572. In particular this part: runcmd: - [ systemctl, start, dcos-docker-install.service ]
In 16.04 final this was not actually working. I. e. you asked for starting this service, but it wasn't actually started. This got fixed in bug 1575572, so that packages that you install in "packages:" or "runcmd:" (which start services) or direct start requests like your's from above now actually do what you asked it to. So this is indeed a behaviour change, but I fail to see how it is a regression and not a bug fix? I. e. can you clarify why you would expect docker not to start despite your explicit runcmd to do so? ** Changed in: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: init-system-helpers (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to init-system-helpers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588477 Title: regression-update: systemd init behavior change Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in init-system-helpers source package in Xenial: Incomplete Bug description: regression-update for 1575572. After the time 1575572 was checked in we observed a behavior change in the systemd init. We have been able to repro the issue and can observe that dpkg seems to start docker on “16.04.201605310 Daily”, but not “16.04.201605280 Daily”. The problem seems to be that in 16.04.201605310.Daily after “dcos- docker-install.service” runs “Job for docker.service” can be seen trying to start docker. On 16.04.0-LTS, it does not try to start docker while running “dcos-docker-install.service”. Why is the binary being started now and not before?
