A minor follow up to my previous comment for anyone else testing this: Correctly testing the fixed package is a bit subtle because if you simply run 'apt purge supervisor' the symbolic link /etc/systemd/system /multi-user.target.wants/supervisor.service (which was created by a previous manual invocation of 'systemctl enable supervisor') will remain and the next installation of the buggy 'supervisor' package will (confusingly enough) correctly start Supervisor after installation.
To summarize, I used the following commands to test this: sudo apt purge supervisor sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/supervisor.service sudo apt install supervisor # At this point, with a `clean re-installation' of the _buggy_ # package, the old and broken behavior that I originally reported can # be reproduced. This was to verify that I could still reproduce the # issue with up to date packages. It also confirmed that my manual # `systemctl enable' invocation hadn't left any state behind on the # filesystem. sudo apt purge supervisor sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nacc/lp1594740 sudo apt update sudo apt install supervisor # At this point the Supervisor daemon is correctly running straight # after installation, without requiring `systemctl' commands from the # operator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594740 Title: Supervisor not enabled or started in Ubuntu 16.04 after installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/supervisor/+bug/1594740/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
