[Bug 1766574] Re: Installation failed if systemd isn't installed: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28: /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Can you explain in a bit details, why are you installing rsyslog without
an init system? and what do you expect the net result of said action to
be? Given that it would not result in rsyslog running at all.

I see the minimal reproducer, but what is the actual top-level goal/use-
case here?

  If you have an image that doesn't have systemd installed, installing
  rsyslog fails with the following error:

    /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: 28:
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/rsyslog.postinst: systemd-tmpfiles: not found

  If I install the systemd package, the rsyslog installation succeeds.

  This is with with version 8.32.0-1ubuntu3 in bionic.

  A quick way of reproducing this is to grab the latest docker bionic
  image and try to install rsyslog in there.
