I have verified the fix using systemd from jammy-proposed. Since ubuntu- release-upgrader was already accepted, I did not need to make any changes to the upgrade step.
First, I installed systemd from jammy-proposed: nr@six:~$ lxc launch ubuntu:jammy j Launching j nr@six:~$ lxc exec j bash root@j:~# cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list << EOF deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-proposed main universe EOF root@j:~# cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates Package: * Pin: release a=jammy-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 EOF root@j:~# apt update && apt install -y -t jammy-proposed systemd Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy InRelease Get:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security InRelease [129 kB] Get:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates InRelease [128 kB] Get:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports InRelease [127 kB] Get:5 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages [2110 kB] Get:6 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed InRelease [279 kB] Get:7 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages [14.1 MB] Get:8 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main Translation-en [329 kB] Get:9 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/restricted amd64 Packages [2899 kB] Get:10 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/restricted Translation-en [509 kB] Get:11 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/universe amd64 Packages [965 kB] Get:12 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/universe Translation-en [207 kB] Get:13 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata [19.5 kB] Get:14 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/multiverse amd64 Packages [37.6 kB] Get:15 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/multiverse Translation-en [8260 B] Get:16 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/multiverse amd64 c-n-f Metadata [224 B] Get:17 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe Translation-en [5652 kB] Get:18 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata [286 kB] Get:19 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/multiverse amd64 Packages [217 kB] Get:20 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/multiverse Translation-en [112 kB] Get:21 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/multiverse amd64 c-n-f Metadata [8372 B] Get:22 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages [2352 kB] Get:23 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main Translation-en [392 kB] Get:24 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/restricted amd64 Packages [3008 kB] Get:25 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/restricted Translation-en [528 kB] Get:26 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/universe amd64 Packages [1192 kB] Get:27 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/universe Translation-en [293 kB] Get:28 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata [26.4 kB] Get:29 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages [44.5 kB] Get:30 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/multiverse Translation-en [11.5 kB] Get:31 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/multiverse amd64 c-n-f Metadata [440 B] Get:32 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/main amd64 Packages [67.7 kB] Get:33 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/main Translation-en [11.1 kB] Get:34 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/main amd64 c-n-f Metadata [388 B] Get:35 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/restricted amd64 c-n-f Metadata [116 B] Get:36 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/universe amd64 Packages [30.0 kB] Get:37 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/universe Translation-en [16.6 kB] Get:38 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata [672 B] Get:39 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-backports/multiverse amd64 c-n-f Metadata [116 B] Get:40 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/main amd64 Packages [362 kB] Get:41 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/main Translation-en [75.0 kB] Get:42 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/main amd64 c-n-f Metadata [1740 B] Get:43 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/universe amd64 Packages [85.1 kB] Get:44 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/universe Translation-en [30.0 kB] Get:45 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-proposed/universe amd64 c-n-f Metadata [1344 B] Fetched 36.6 MB in 6s (6081 kB/s) Reading package lists...

This is due to (a) the package split that made systemd-resolved its own package (during kinetic cycle, hence between jammy and noble), and (b) an ubuntu-release-upgrader quirk that (re)starts systemd-resolved out of stub mode during the upgrade to avoid DNS resolution failures during the upgrade. [Test Plan] The complete test plan requires the fixed version of systemd *and* ubuntu-release-upgrader. On a Jammy machine, install systemd from jammy-proposed: $ cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list << EOF deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-proposed main universe EOF $ cat <<EOF >/etc/apt/preferences.d/proposed-updates Package: * Pin: release a=jammy-proposed Pin-Priority: 400 EOF $ apt update && apt install -y -t jammy-proposed systemd $ apt policy systemd Then, disable systemd-resolved, and install dnsmasq: $ systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved $ sed -i 's/nameserver.*/nameserver 1.1.1.1/g' /etc/resolv.conf # Use any DNS server $ apt install dnsmasq -y $ systemctl status dnsmasq systemd-resolved At this point, dnsmasq should be running, and systemd-resolved should not. Now, we can run the upgrade: $ do-release-upgrade --proposed [...] The upgrade should complete normally. At the end, systemd-resolved should still be disabled/inactive, and dnsmasq should still be running: $ systemctl status dnsmasq systemd-resolved [Where problems could occur] systemd: The patch is adding a new systemd.prerm. Any issues here would be seen during package upgrades of systemd in/from Jammy. It is designed to only run during upgrades to Noble from Jammy, so the scope is limited there. If something did occur, it would be within the deb-systemd- helper script, which would not be fatal to the systemd.prerm script given the || true after the invocation. ubuntu-release-upgrader: The patch adds a call to systemctl is-active to check whether systemd- resolved is running. If this was broken, systemd-resolved might be started during the ugprade anyways. This would not lead to systemd- resolved being enabled, though. [Other information] For the complete upgrade experience to be fixed for affected users, both of these updates need to land. Hence, we should aim to release these at the same time. However, having one fix but not the other would not make the situation any worse. [Original Description] Was running Ubuntu 22.04 as home gateway/firewall with dnsmasq as dns/dhcp server. Previous upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 had worked without issue. After the upgrade to 24.04.01, systemd-resovled was automatically enabled. The result was that after a reboot, dnsmasq failed to start, as systemd-resolved had already bound to the necessary port. This in turn meant that my entire home network lost connectivity as it was dependant on dnsmasq running to provide both correct dns and dhcp functionality. Ideally, during the upgrade process, a check should be made for if another dns/dhcp service is already enabled, and if so, not enable systemd-resolved.
