Hello Scott, or anyone else affected, Accepted cloud-init into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/0.7.7-31 -g65ace7b-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- 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/1576692 Title: fully support package installation in systemd Status in cloud-init: Fix Released Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in init-system-helpers source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: in cloud-init users can install packages via cloud-config: #cloud-config packages: [apache2] Due to some intricacies of systemd and service installation that doesn't work all that well. We fixed the issue for simple services that do not have any dependencies on other services, or at least don't check those dependencies well under bug 1575572. We'd like to have a way to fully support this in cloud-init. Related bugs: * bug 1575572: apache2 fails to start if installed via cloud config (on Xenial) * bug 1611973: postgresql@9.5-main service not started if postgres installed via cloud-init * bug 1621336: snapd.boot-ok.service hangs eternally on cloud image upgrades (snapd packaging bug, but this cloud-init fix will workaround it) * bug 1620780: dev-sda2.device job running and times out SRU INFORMATION =============== FIX for init-system-helpers: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/init-system-helpers.git/commit/?id=1460d6a02 REGRESSION POTENTIAL for init-system-helpers: This changes invoke-rc.d and service, two very central pieces of packaging infrastructure. Errors in it will break installation/upgrades of packages or /etc/network/if-up.d/ hooks and the like. This changes the condition when systemd units get started without their dependencies, and the condition gets weakened. This means that behaviour in a booted system is unchanged, but during boot this could change the behaviour of if- up.d/ hooks (although they have never been defined well during boot anyway). However, I tested this change extensively in cloud images and desktop installations (particularly I recreated https://bugs.debian.org/777113 and confirmed that this approach also fixes it) and could not find any regression. TEST CASE (for both packages): Run lxc launch ubuntu-daily:x --config=user.user-data="$(printf "#cloud-config\npackages: [postgresql, samba, postfix]")" x1 This will install all three packages, but "systemctl status postgresql@9.5-main" will not be running. Now prepare a new image with the proposed cloud-init and init-system- helpers: lxc launch ubuntu-daily:x xprep lxc exec xprep bash # enable -proposed and dist-upgrade, then poweroff lxc publish xprep x-proposed Now run the initial lxc launch again, but against that new x-proposed image instead of the standard daily: lxc launch x-proposed --config=user.user-data="$(printf "#cloud- config\npackages: [postgresql, samba, postfix]")" x1 You should now have "systemctl status postgresql@9.5-main" running. Directly after rebooting the instance, check that there are no hanging jobs (systemctl list-jobs), particularly networking.service, to ensure that https://bugs.debian.org/777113 did not come back. Also test interactively installing a package that ships a service, like "apache2", and verify that it starts properly after installation.
