After thinking a while about this, and having a look at our configuration for focal I thik the reason for this issue during the upgrade is that the `multipathd.service` and `multipathd.socket` were already masked in our focal setup. The `multipath-tools` packet is nevertheless attempting to restart them and this obviously fails.
We had diskussed to remove/purge the `multipath-tools` due to a massive amount of the following messages in focal: ``` multipathd[696]: sda: add missing path multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sda: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory multipathd[696]: sdb: add missing path multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get udev uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get sysfs uid: Invalid argument multipathd[696]: sdb: failed to get sgio uid: No such file or directory ``` And due to the dependency of the `ubuntu-servers` metapackage we decided to mask the `multipathd.service` and `multipathd.socket` units. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1971954 Title: package multipath-tools 0.8.8-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: installed multipath-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1971954/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
