It is concerning that the docker containers does not have systemd package installed.
I'm not saying that systemd-sysv should be installed and/or init present, but certainly many utils shipped by systemd package are useful in general. For example, rsyslog's logging directories would not be configured correctly with the right permissions. Why is systemd deb package not installed in the ubuntu docker container? ** Also affects: cloud-images Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + + Ubuntu Bionic docker container missing Priority: Import; Task:minimal package. + + -- + If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing rsyslog fails with the following error: - /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: + /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds. This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic. A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic image and try to install rsyslog in there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766574 Title: Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1766574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
