[Bug 1579580] Re: ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Seth, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ureadahead into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ureadahead/0.100.0-19.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: ureadahead (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags removed: verification-done
** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-xenial

Title:
  ureadahead reports relative path errors in journalctl output

Status in ureadahead package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in ureadahead source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in ureadahead source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]

  ureadahead logs thousands of lines of useless noise on each boot.

  [test case]

  install bionic on physical hardware (ureadhead doesn't run under virt)
  and check the boot logs:

  #journalctl -m | grep ureadahead | wc -l
  30244

  
  ureadahead stores its data in /var/lib/ureadahead/pack so on future boots, it doesn't print as many noise messages (if any), until the pack file is a month or more old, at which time it recreates it (at the next boot) and prints all the noise out again.

  to reproduce this test case without waiting a month, just remove the
  pack file and reboot.

  
  [regression potential]

  very little, adding the -q param only causes libnih to switch to quiet
  mode.  any regression would likely be around ureadahead not starting
  at all, which really wouldn't be that bad anyway, as ureadahead has
  been removed entirely from Ubuntu starting in cosmic.

  ureadahead reports relative path errors in my journalctl output.

  This is currently 4368 lines of useless annoyances in my logs.

  To see if you have this problem, run: journalctl -b | grep ureadahead
  | grep relative | wc -l

  Thanks
