Public bug reported: This affects 1.1.5-0ubuntu0.15.10.3 on Wily. I believe it also affects 1.1.5-0ubuntu0.15.04.3 on Vivid.
Downgrading to 1.1.4-0ubuntu1 fixes it, so it does not affect 1.1.4-0ubuntu1 on Wily. My failure case is that I am running adt-run --apt-pocket=proposed -U with adt-virt-lxc and a test needs to upgrade systemd in the container which fails in the postinst. I think this comes down to lxc being unable to dist-upgrade xenial-proposed. I created the container with: sudo lxc-create -n xenial -t ubuntu-cloud -- -r xenial -T http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/current/xenial- server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz -F Reproduce with: adt-run -U --apt-pocket=proposed libapache2-mod-perl2 --- adt-virt-lxc -es xenial Expected: test pass (or fail for unrelated reason) Actual: test fail due to: Processing triggers for systemd (228-2ubuntu2) ... Failed to execute operation: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out dpkg: error processing package systemd (--unpack): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for ufw (0.34-2) ... Errors were encountered while processing: systemd E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) blame: libapache2-mod-perl2 badpkg: failed to run apt-get to satisfy adt-satdep.deb dependencies adt-run [15:57:15]: ERROR: erroneous package: failed to run apt-get to satisfy adt-satdep.deb dependencies I tried to reduce the failure case but I'm not sure how to manually activate a trigger for systemd. Workaround: downgrade using: sudo apt-get install lxc=1.1.4-0ubuntu1 lxcfs=0.10-0ubuntu2 liblxc1=1.1.4-0ubuntu1 python3-lxc=1.1.4-0ubuntu1 Presumably the failure case will stop working once systemd lands in the xenial release pocket, but perhaps reconfiguring it would still reproduce? Confirmed since pitti has experienced this as well. ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu Wily) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1527666 Title: lxc on Wily cannot dist-upgrade Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1527666/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
