Package: systemd Version: 255~rc2-1 Severity: important After upgrading systemd from 254.5-1 and rebooting, rsyslog failed to start on my system. These messages appear in the journal:
,---- | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost systemd[1]: Starting rsyslog.service - System Logging Service... | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost (rsyslogd)[674]: Failed to create destination mount point node '/run/systemd/mount-rootfs/dev/xconsole', ignoring: Read-only file system | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost (rsyslogd)[674]: Failed to mount /dev/xconsole to /run/systemd/mount-rootfs/dev/xconsole: No such file or directory | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost (rsyslogd)[674]: rsyslog.service: Failed to set up mount namespacing: /dev/xconsole: No such file or directory | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=226/NAMESPACE | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost systemd[1]: Failed to start rsyslog.service - System Logging Service. | Nov 16 16:58:10 localhost systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 1. `---- This gets repeated a few times, and after five restart attempts systemd gives up. It should be noted that I have enabled forwarding messages to xconsole according to the the "Logging to xconsole" section in /usr/share/doc/rsyslog/README.Debian, and the problem is obviously in the bind mount for /dev/xconsole. Removing /dev/xconsole so that the "BindPaths=-/dev/xconsole" statement in rsyslog.service has no effect lets rsyslog start, but recreates the problem of #1053913. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.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 systemd depends on: ii libacl1 2.3.1-3 ii libapparmor1 3.0.12-1 ii libaudit1 1:3.1.1-1 ii libblkid1 2.39.2-6 ii libc6 2.37-12 ii libcap2 1:2.66-4 ii libcryptsetup12 2:2.6.1-5 ii libfdisk1 2.39.2-6 ii libgcrypt20 1.10.2-3 ii libkmod2 30+20230601-2 ii liblz4-1 1.9.4-1 ii liblzma5 5.4.4-0.1 ii libmount1 2.39.2-6 ii libpam0g 1.5.2-9.1 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-2 ii libselinux1 3.5-1 ii libssl3 3.0.12-2 ii libsystemd-shared 255~rc2-1 ii libsystemd0 255~rc2-1 ii libzstd1 1.5.5+dfsg2-2 ii mount 2.39.2-6 ii systemd-dev 255~rc2-1 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus [default-dbus-system-bus] 1.14.10-3 ii systemd-timesyncd [time-daemon] 255~rc2-1 Versions of packages systemd suggests: ii libfido2-1 1.13.0-1+b1 ii libip4tc2 1.8.9-2 ii libp11-kit0 0.25.0-5 ii libqrencode4 4.1.1-1 pn libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 <none> pn libtss2-mu0 <none> pn libtss2-rc0 <none> ii polkitd 123-3 ii python3 3.11.4-5+b1 pn python3-pefile <none> pn systemd-boot <none> pn systemd-container <none> pn systemd-homed <none> pn systemd-resolved <none> pn systemd-userdbd <none> Versions of packages systemd is related to: ii dbus-user-session 1.14.10-3 pn dracut <none> ii initramfs-tools 0.142 ii libnss-systemd 255~rc2-1 ii libpam-systemd 255~rc2-1 ii udev 255~rc2-1 -- no debconf information
