** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + The sysstat services are not enabled by default in jammy. They are + enabled by default in noble not due to any packaging change, but because + the package is now seeded and the services are processed by systemd + preset on the first system boot. This is (arguably) a regression. + + On package upgrades, the sysstat postinst script checks the debconf + setting for the service and calls systemctl to ensure that the service + is set to the state declared through debconf. In the seeded pre- + installed package in noble, this is set to "disabled". This is done in + the postinst AFTER the dh_installsystemd hooks, so the current service + "enabled/disabled" status is ignored. This means that, as soon as we + upgrade sysstat in a noble (or later) system, the services which are + enabled by default will be disabled. this is a bug. + + [ Test Plan ] + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + [ Other info ] + + [Original message] + Today i occasionally found that /var/log/sysstat is full with sar data files on my laptop. I remember i didn't turn this on. Then cat /etc/default/sysstat shows ENABLED="false" But systemctl status sysstat.service shows enabled.
