Public bug reported: Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.06 Ubuntu: 257.4-1ubuntu3 Debian Unstable: 257.5-2
A new release of systemd is available for merging from Debian Unstable. If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the tag 'dcr-merge' to 'dcr-sync', and (optionally) update the title as desired. If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an entry to the questing Release Notes: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/questing-quokka-release-notes/ ### New Debian Changes ### systemd (257.5-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Backport new patch to workaround /lib64 symlink incompatibility (Closes: #1079329) -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Mon, 07 Apr 2025 18:39:22 +0100 systemd (257.5-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Add NEWS entry to warn about network connectivity loss due to mDNS, and workaround * Use Conflicts instead of Breaks/Replaces for file move (Closes: #1101965) * Update upstream source from tag 'upstream/257.5' Update to upstream version '257.5' with Debian dir 2218d137fd911b8d5c2849535b066d27f01406b2 * Drop backports, included in 257.5 * Remove conflicts with dracut:arm64 and build nspawn:arm64 again. A mutually satisfactory solution for #1079329 has been agreed and is being worked on, so temporarily reintroduce #1079329 until it's ready in a few days as per agreement with ctte. -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Sun, 06 Apr 2025 18:41:17 +0100 systemd (257.4-9) unstable; urgency=medium * resolved: break mDNS, remove conflict with avahi. Feedback from users is to prefer breaking mDNS rather than avoiding avahi. Ship a drop-in to disable mDNS by default, so that users relying on mDNS for reachability can hopefully notice it and mask it before upgrading (Closes: #1098914) -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Wed, 02 Apr 2025 11:19:09 +0100 systemd (257.4-8) unstable; urgency=medium [ Luca Boccassi ] * systemd.preinst: do not use systemctl libsystemd-shared might not be unpacked yet, so check things manually (Closes: #1101698) * systemd.preinst: fix shellcheck warnings * d/t/boot-and-services: skip gdm3 test in nested LXD run. It is flaky and fails half the times, not much value in checking a desktop session inside a nested container * reintroduce systemd-resolved, with conflict on avahi-daemon. It turns out the cloud images have a hard dependency on resolved. In order to avoid having to change them, reintroduce the package, with a hard conflict on avahi-daemon to avoid reintroducing #1098914 (Closes: #1101532) [ Yu Watanabe ] * d/rules: drop nscd meson option. The meson option was deprecated by 28f1f1a5e652508d6e61ace8918e8b831e4b62b4 (v257). -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Tue, 01 Apr 2025 21:43:18 +0100 systemd (257.4-7) unstable; urgency=medium * autopkgtest: when nested tests-in-lxd skips don't fail outer run * Backport patches to fix integration tests skipping * autopkgtest: re-enable integration tests -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Sat, 29 Mar 2025 19:07:36 +0000 systemd (257.4-6) unstable; urgency=medium * systemd: conflict with dracut on arm64. Same as the systemd- nspawn/arm64 changes of 257.4-4. As correctly pointed out on the reopened #1079329 this combination also creates incompatibilities, so add an explicit package conflict to fix this occurrence too as requested by the reporter. (Closes: #1079329) * d/control: fix systemd-boot and systemd-boot-tools descriptions * Add Lintian override for 'unknown-field Protected' -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 23:33:26 +0000 systemd (257.4-5) unstable; urgency=medium * Add missing dh-exec shbang to d/systemd-tests.install -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:28:09 +0000 systemd (257.4-4) unstable; urgency=medium [ Luca Boccassi ] * Update tzdata-legacy version constraint for new bookworm-p-u tzdata version * systemd-boot: do case-insensitive parsing of efibootmgr output (Closes: #1100653) * userdbd: use wildcard to install units * systemd-container: use more wildcards to install files * Handle new tmp mount on upgrade in preinst rather than postinst. Avoid race with new units being activated and pulling it in at the same time (Closes: #1101175) * autopkgtest: remove workaround for 'meson compiile mkosi' and use 'mkosi -f' instead to avoid slow rebuilds * autopkgtest: drop versioning constraints on tzdata. These do not seem to be necessary in order for autopkgtest to pull in the package, so drop them as they need to be constantly updated due to p-u uploads * Move leftover resolved files to its own package. A few files were mistakenly shipping in the main systemd package even though they are part of resolved, due to a refactor from some time ago. Move them over. * Drop systemd-resolved package. The ctte has declared that the way the systemd-resolved tool works is incompatible with their decision to prioritize avahi in Debian. Furthermore, the resolved tool is being used to inflict pain on the maintainer, and induce burnout. Regrettably, the only safe solution to ensure this package is compliant with this decision is to drop it, as all reasonable alternatives put forward have been rejected: https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/289 (Closes: #1098914) * Drop systemd-nspawn on arm64. The ctte has declared that the way the systemd-nspawn binary works on arm64 is incompatible with their decision to leave in place a recently introduced change in the debian- specific base-files package, which caused a dpkg regression. Furthermore, the nspawn tool is being used to inflict pain on the maintainer, and induce burnout. Regrettably, the only safe solution to ensure this package is compliant with this decision is to drop the binary on arm64, as all reasonable alternatives put forward have been rejected: https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/289 (Closes: #1079329) [ Nick Rosbrook ] * Add myself to Uploaders [ Andrea Pappacoda ] * d/control: only conflict against opensysusers << 0.7.3-4.1~ opensysusers 0.7.3-4.1 is no longer co-installable with systemd as it conflicts with systemd-sysusers, so it is no longer needed to conflict against it systemd-side. -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 01:24:32 +0000 systemd (257.4-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Fix versioned breaks/replaces for sd-boot-tools (Closes: #1100412) -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:25:54 +0000 systemd (257.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Split bootctl to new systemd-boot-tools package (Closes: #1086860) -- Luca Boccassi <bl...@debian.org> Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:48:10 +0000 ### Old Ubuntu Delta ### systemd (257.4-1ubuntu3) plucky; urgency=medium * test-network: add handling for Ubuntu FAN patches (LP: #2104943) -- Nick Rosbrook <en...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 28 Mar 2025 11:48:04 -0400 systemd (257.4-1ubuntu2) plucky; urgency=medium [ Frank Heimes ] * Fix d/extra/initramfs-tools/hooks/udev, so that udev rules that are specific to s390x ccw devices are only prevented from being copied if zdev_early=0 is set, but copy rules in case of zdev_early=1 or if zdev_early is not specified at all. (LP: #2102236) [ Nick Rosbrook ] * d/extra/polkit-1: let root ignore inhibitors on reboot etc (LP: #2092438) * d/control: remove Build-Depends: linux-tools-generic. The src:linux package now ships a bpftool binary package. -- Nick Rosbrook <en...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 21 Mar 2025 17:48:15 -0400 systemd (257.4-1ubuntu1) plucky; urgency=medium * Merge with Debian unstable.
