[Bug 1698388] Please test proposed package

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Ruud, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/229-4ubuntu21.29 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, what testing has been
performed on the package 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.

Title:
  Assertion failure in journal-remote-parse.c

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [impact]

  assertion failure in systemd-journal-remote

  [test case]

  only happens under specific circumstances, which is unclear exactly
  how to reproduce it

  [regression potential]

  any regression would likely result in the failure/crash of systemd-
  journal-remote program while processing data from a remote source.

  [scope]

  this is needed only for x.

  this is fixed by commit 9ba37525d0ef3d144a50ed5fd4710573e92b7ec1 which
  is included upstream starting in v230, so this is already included in
  b and later.

  [original description]

  I am observing the following assertion failure in systemd-journal-
  remote:

  Assertion 'source->filled <= source->size' failed at ../src/journal-
  remote/journal-remote-parse.c:95, function get_line(). Aborting.

  Systemd version:

  systemd 229
  +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +IMA +APPARMOR +SMACK +SYSVINIT +UTMP +LIBCRYPTSETUP +GCRYPT +GNUTLS +ACL +XZ -LZ4 +SECCOMP +BLKID +ELFUTILS +KMOD -IDN

  Ubuntu release:

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  Package version:

  systemd:
    Installed: 229-4ubuntu13
    Candidate: 229-4ubuntu17

  It looks like this issue has been fixed upstream in v230, specifically
  in commit 9ba37525d0ef3d144a50ed5fd4710573e92b7ec1. Could this
  particular commit be backported?
