[Bug 1867972] Re: [FFe] Please accept systemd 245-2ubuntu1 to Focal

[Balint Reczey]

systemd/armhf is pending.

There are two notable regression tracked upstream:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15141
Update to systemd 245-2 breaks user login for usernames starting with a number

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15070
[Arch Linux | systemd 245-1 & 245-2 | ZFS on root] System no longer boots - "Caught <ABRT>, dumped core as pid / Freezing execution"

I have a fix for the first one and if the second one is reproducible on
Ubuntu I can revert the change causing it.

I'm seeking a tentative decision on accepting the new upstream release,
assuming that the two regressions are also fixed in the first or in a
follow-up upload.

Title:
   [FFe] Please accept systemd 245-2ubuntu1 to Focal

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Focal currently has 244.3-1ubuntu1.

  Upstream released 245 after the Focal Feature Freeze date, but
  updating to v245 will allow us to carry fewer patches in Focal and
  have the latest upstream fixes without cherry-picking the important
  ones.

  The proposed package is tested in Bileto and there are no unfixed regressions compared to the results of the latest tests.
  https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/3801

  The fixed gpsd upload invalidated the default excuses page, but it is still available at:
  https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_39a8dbb93caf4ec889f8a1b7f69885db/bileto-3801-excuses/2020-03-18_14:40:01/3801_focal_excuses.html

  The changelog is not final in the Bileto PPA, the final one is at:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~rbalint/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+git/systemd/+ref/ubuntu-focal

  New notable upstream features, such as systemd-homed and systemd-
  repart are _not_ enabled in this upload.

  Please find the full NEWS file at:
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v245/NEWS

  There is one notable failing test, netplan.io's which is failing in
  the release pocket, too. I'd like to have this passing, too, with
  systemd 245 before in migrates to the release pocket.
