Package: snapclient Version: 0.26.0+dfsg1-1~bpo11+1 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, to reproduce, use the included conf file and start the systemwide snapclient.service expected: service starts and runs what happens: starts and deactivates suspected cause: ExecStart=/usr/bin/snapclient --logsink=system $SNAPCLIENT_OPTS in snapclient.service systemd doesn't do shell-like variable substitution, you'd need to start the process in a shell systemd has instead has its own fixed set of %-'speciefiers' for substitution, defined in man systemd.unit luckily, including the SNAPCLIENT_OPTS with the ExecStart= directive, is redundant, since snapclient reads SNAPCLIENT_OPTS from its environment, and the EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/snapclient directive sources the environment from the conf file. Hence, suggested patch: ExecStart=/usr/bin/snapclient --logsink=system , without the malformed variable AFAICT, the bug affects not only this version probably bad practice to mention two bugs in one report, but fwiw, snapclient apparantly also has a non-robust way of managing its pidfile: running snapclient from the commandline as root once, then killing it, can lead to Exception: Could not open PID lock file "/var/run/snapclient/pid" and failure of the service later, alas, I'm failing to reproduce this now that I'd like to give exact steps -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.7 APT prefers oldstable-updates APT policy: (501, 'oldstable-updates'), (501, 'oldstable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-30-rt-armmp (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages snapclient depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii libasound2 1.2.4-1.1 ii libavahi-client3 0.8-5+deb11u2 ii libavahi-common3 0.8-5+deb11u2 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u6 ii libflac8 1.3.3-2+deb11u1 ii libgcc-s1 10.2.1-6 ii libogg0 1.3.4-0.1 ii libopus0 1.3.1-0.1 ii libpulse0 14.2-2 ii libsoxr0 0.1.3-4 ii libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.7-1 Versions of packages snapclient recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.8-5+deb11u2 snapclient suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/snapclient changed: SNAPCLIENT_OPTS="--host 127.0.0.1 --logfilter=*:warning --daemon=-18" -- debconf-show failed
