- d/control: B-D for dh-autoreconf and dh-systemd

  override_dh_systemd_enable and override_dh_systemd_start as needed on
  xenials debhelper version.
- d/rules: drop --no-restart-after-upgrade which only exists in debhelper

[Bug 1758428] Re: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files

[ChristianEhrhardt]

1. Upgrade from proposed - this is the same for all associated bugs, so
I only documented details in bug 1741390

2. This bug in particular
While triggering the raw error throu VMOMI API is complex one can check the 
services mountpoints.
E.g. with that we see the issue present in Artful before this upgrade.
$ findmnt -N $(systemctl status open-vm-tools | awk '/Main PID/ {print $3}')
After the upgrade we have
Artful: no private TMP (anymore, the version before this was affected)
Xenial: no private TMP (the upgrade did not add this issue since it is fixed 
before the backport)

Per above (and the extensive precheck on the content-equal ppa by
VMWare) - setting to verified

verified.
1) we can update to package 10.2.0-3ubuntu3 when type "sudo apt-get install 
open-vm-tools" in terminal. After updating, the configuration item 
"PrivateTmp=yes" is removing from file open-vm-tool.service

2) This issue disappear with package open-vm-tools - 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu3.

3) it works well when check basic tools functions in 18.04 Server/Desktop: 
install, unintalll, 
   tools status, vmware-toolbox-cmd, VGauth.

[Bug 1758428] Re: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files

[ChristianEhrhardt]

This will only "become" an issue for Xenial/Artful with the backport.
But lets do it right for tracking - so I added tasks for these releases which 
allows me to refer changes and changelog to here.

That way with the backport it will "be an issue" for the former
releases, but also instantly be closed for them.

In the queue for SRU review now - main bug 1741390

Thank you for checking.
The ppa was only meant for 16.04 and yes since we knew the issue was there it 
has the fix.
Overall this confirms all I needed, lets make the change for Bionic before it 
releases and from thre make it part of the SRUs for Artful and Xenial.

[Bug 1758428] Re: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files

[vmware-gos-Yuhua]

using open-vm-tools in ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/3226 for ubuntu 16.04,
this issue disappear.


After install open-vm-tools from repository ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/3226 and 
check /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tool.service, I find "PrivateTmp=yes" is 
removed from file.
If I add "PrivateTmp=yes" to file open-vm-tool.service manually, the issue can 
be reproducible. So my guessing is that the change to fix the issue in this PPA 
is removing configuration item "PrivateTmp=yes" from open-vm-tool.service

The ubuntu 18.04 with default open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu2 also have this 
issue.
Commenting out the option PrivateTmp=yes in 
/lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service can fix the issue.

[Tim Clark]

I have not had the time to return to this bug - as of last tests,
`PrivateTmp=yes` did not fix the issue after all.  Restarting the daemon
always fixes the issue, but we're unsure why.

[David Britton]

@Tim, @Oliver -- We are quickly approaching the Release of 18.04, which
will add steps and time to this SRU if we don't get it in quickly.
Could one of you please test that Bionic (18.04) works with the PPA that
Christian attached?

Thanks!

[ChristianEhrhardt]

FYI: PPA build with the fix for privateTmp is available in a PPA
Versioning changes slightly (better to do these SRUs regularly).
So the new version is below the old one, be sure to update correctly when 
testing this.

=> https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3226

Still confirmation in Bionic is the most important next step I'd ask
for.

We are still trying to confirm the fix for Xenial - our initial test
appeared to work, but we've had nothing but subsequent (potentially
unrelated failures).  Still working to validate.

I'd really need to know if Bionic is affected as well, but can't test it
myself.

If it is we need/want to fix it in Bionic first (SRU rules and new LTS should 
be good)
If it is not in Bionic then the SRU for 1741390 is unblocked (of this issue).

[ChristianEhrhardt]

The SRU in the queue for Xenial (where this was found an tested) has the
requested change.

It would now be nice to know if you could confirm (or falsify) this
being an issue for Bionic as well so that we can remove it there.

[Bug 1758428] Re: Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files

[ChristianEhrhardt]

I'll take care that the proposed cahnge for the Xenial SRU will drop this 
systemd entry.
And respon the SRU upload.

But I wonder if this is an issue in Bionic as well.
The change to use PrivateTmp for open-vm-tools.service was introduced in Debian 
in 2:10.1.5-5055683-5 at 25 Jul 2017.

We didn't hear about this issue yet, so the question is
a) was it missed and also affects Bionic 18.04?
b) is it not an issue due to e.g. the newer systemd version?

I beg your pardon that "Using VMOMI API" is too unclear for me yet, but
I assume that should be a rather simple test for you if this affects
18.04 as well.

@Oliver, to speak to your original question above, "Yes, our in-house
compilation is a 'build of just the open-vmware-tools source without
Debian package scripts'"  That build doesn't appear to have that
PrivateTmp in the unit file.

So far, testing looks good with 'PrivateTmp=False'.  I'm going to run
one more test through for verification before confirming this resolves
the issue.

Still working to confirm - As restarting the service clears up the
symptoms, I'm building a new base image with `PrivateTmp=false` in the
service unit file.

in the morning and report back.

Okay, so I now tried to reproduce the original issue with code that is
very similar to the code in the bug description, but wasn't able to.

@Tim, can you please check if unsetting PrivateTmp option fixes your
issue?

I was able to to reproduce a similar issue by trying to use ListFilesInGuest in 
/tmp. We found that the issue can be fixed by commenting out the option
PrivateTmp=yes
under [Services] in /lib/systemd/system/open-vm-tools.service and the commands
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart open-vm-tools

Tim, what exactly do you mean with 'Subprocesses execute correctly from
open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-10.2.0-7253323, when compiled from source'?
Is this a rebuild of the package, or is this a build of just the open-
vmware-tools source without Debian package scripts?
