** Description changed: Impact ------ There is a 90 second timeout delay during the upgrade to gnome-remote-desktop (as in the upgrade from Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS or 23.10 to 24.04 LTS) More Details ------------ This SRU replaces the "automatic" postinst rules from dh_installsysusers and dh_installtmpfiles with custom postint rules that ensure that the sysusers and tmpfiles commands are run before dbus is reloaded. This is similar to what polkitd.postinst does but the new gnome-remote-desktop postinst is much simpler than what polkitd does. dh_installsysusers also adds Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers. (It appears like dh_installtmpfiles does not add similar dependencies). Because we only support systemd, I have manually added: - Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers, - systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-tmpfiles + Depends: systemd | systemd-sysusers, + systemd | systemd-tmpfiles Test Case --------- From Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS: 1. sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop 2. sudo systemctl stop gnome-remote-desktop 3. sudo deluser gnome-remote-desktop 4. sudo rm -fr /etc/gnome-remote-desktop /var/lib/gnome-remote-desktop Those steps will undo adding the user that systemd-sysusers is configured to add and undo adding the directories that systemd-tmpfiles adds. Then install the update. Verify that the update happens at normal speed without a long delay before completion. Alternate Test Case (Not Required) ----------------------------------- You could do an upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 LTS but it requires much more time and attention to verify that there isn't an arbitrary delay while apt configures gnome-remote-desktop. Therefore, the other test case is recommended. What Could Go Wrong ------------------- If a postinst command fails, then the system can be unable to finish installing gnome-remote-desktop. This can be a pain to clean up. In this case, the commands are protected by " || true". Other Info ---------- This issue is a follow-up for LP: #2063333 In that bug, gnome-remote-desktop wouldn't work at all for upgraders. This bugfix is being bundled with a new upstream release with more testing LP: #2072771
