[Bug 1916715] Re: fails on install due to systemd-service/sysv-service mismatch and lack of mkdir

[Paul Goins]

I just hit this issue on the UCA bionic-ussuri version, as part of
testing automated OpenStack upgrades.  This library is pulled in as a
cinder "suggested" package, and under my testing it broke on the upgrade
from the UCA bionic-train version to UCA bionic-ussuri.

The fix for the issue was exactly as Adam said in comment #5.  While
this is on Bionic, systemd is in play here and the invalid definition in
/lib/systemd/system/rtslib-fb-targetctl.service is impacting in this
case.  The bionic-train version doesn't have the offending mkdir call at
all; the bionic-ussuri version introduces the bugged version (i.e.
"ExecStart=mkdir -p /etc/rtslib-fb-target").

  The python3-rtslib-fb package fails to install.

  On install:

  [Test Plan]
  ===========

  To reproduce this bug, simply do the following:

  $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:groovy python-rtslib-fb-lp1916715-groovy

  $ lxc shell python-rtslib-fb-lp1916715-groovy

  [or shoot up a VM running Groovy]

  # apt update && apt upgrade && apt install linux-modules-
  extra-5.8.0-44-generic

  # reboot

  # apt install python3-rtslib-fb

  ...and this should fail to install.

  To make sure that this bug is indeed fixed, install the patched
  version of this package and that should install fine.

  Furthermore, check systemctl status rtslib-fb-targetctl.service and
  that should not report any problems.

  
  [Where problems could occur]
  ============================

  If someone has manually fixed the old service (manual mkdir, enable
  it, ...) or any such thing, then the fix might cause the update to
  behave a bit differently.
