** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * core18 systems fail to update hostname + * this happens due to /etc/hostname actually being a symlink to a file under /etc/writable/, adjust hostnamed to take that into account when trying to update /etc/hostname + + [Test Case] + + * run a core18 system, check that dhcp acquire hostname is correctly + updated in /etc/writable/hostname + + [Regression Potential] + + * This is cherrypick of code that has gone missing since xenial. + * There is no change of behaviour for the classic systems. + * Currently, core18 systems simply fail to update hostname/machine-info files, thus the worst case is that they will still fail to do so. + + [Other Info] + + * original bug report + The 16.04 version of systemd had a patch to support the read-only etc. For core18 we will also need this change because core18 is still not on a fully writable etc. I will attach a debdiff against the current bionic version of systemd.
