Package: src:systemd Version: 254.1-3 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: chris.obb...@collabora.com
Dear Maintainer, Installing a new kernel on a system which uses systemd-boot as the bootloader fails if python3 is not installed. Here's the snippet from apt upgrade: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-systemd-boot: Installing kernel version 6.4.0-4-amd64 in systemd-boot... /usr/bin/env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/60-ukify.install failed with exit status 127. This renders the new kernel unusable as it never actually gets installed in the right place for systemd-boot. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-systemd-boot calls kernel-install, which in turn calls /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/60-ukify.install which calls /lib/systemd/ukify to attempt to create a unified kernel image. These are both python3 scripts. To workaround this, I have deleted /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/60-ukify.install as we don't (yet!) create uki images with the ukify utility anyway. When the ukify postinst script _does_ run, it currently just detects the environment variable KERNEL_INSTALL_LAYOUT != "uki" (set from some config files) and exits early, not even creating the uki. So this is opt-in. /lib/systemd/ukify is shipped in the systemd package along with /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/60-ukify.install, which I think is wrong as systemd package does not have the right dependencies for this script. Perhaps we should split the ukify bits into its own package (systemd-ukify) which depends on python3 and should be manually installed? Also this package can then depend on e.g. sbsigntool and other packages to actually manage the signing (but that can be a separate bug!).
