Not seeing anything > definitive in the docs after a quick glance. Correct. Before/After only establishes ordering between enabled services and is ignored for services that are not enabled. Fixing this to enforce that apt-daily.service and apt-daily-upgrade.service are both always enabled/disabled together would be done by adding 'Requires=apt-daily.service' to apt-daily-upgrade.service. But I think that is too strict, because one may legitimately choose to disable only one of the two services for some reason. So I think this is something that you will want to fix in your image mastering scripts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711428 Title: cloud-init sometimes fails on dpkg lock due to concurrent apt-daily- upgrade.service execution Status in cloud-init: Incomplete Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is the same problem as https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud- init/+bug/1693361, but with a different APT invoking service. In this case it is apt-daily-upgrade.service. So, I guess add apt-daily-upgrade.service to the Before line in /lib/systemd/system/cloud-final.service along side apt-daily.service. Or wait for an APT fix. Or retry APT commands when executing "packages:" Reporting this to save someone else trouble, but I think we'll be rolling back to Trusty at this point. Hopefully the B LTS will have an alternative to systemd.
