Upstart is still installed on desktop Xenial systems, even on a fresh installation; the unity-greeter package depends on it. Attempting to "apt-get remove upstart" also offers to remove the "ubuntu-desktop", "unity", and "unity-greeter" packages, along with the "upstart" package.
So this bug prevents the use of Puppet from correctly managing any services on a Xenial desktop system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570472 Title: Set systemd as default service provider To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1570472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
