libvirt requires libsystemd0

[_spOOn]

Hey guys,

I’ve noticed that libvirt-bin fails to install on trios, due to the dependency on libsystemd0:

apt-cache depends libvirt-bin​

libvirt-bin
Depends: libvirt-daemon-system
Depends: libvirt-clients

apt-cache depends libvirt-daemon-system|grep systemd​

Depends: libsystemd0
Suggests: systemd

apt-cache depends libvirt-clients|grep systemd​

Depends: libsystemd0

As this is sponsored by Redhat, I’m not that surprised…

Thought you might want to either pin this to -1, or see if its possible to get this working without systemd (as I’m about to do…)

If I have any luck getting this to work without systemd, Ill let you know.

The only correct way is to remove systemd dependencies…I’m just working on it

@Dragan yeah, thats what I was intending to do, but it sounds like you’ve got it in hand now anyways.

You might want to add virt-viewer to that list as well.

Done…removed all systemd dependencies, including libsystemd0
Ready for testing…added to our repo (non-systemd-testing component in /source.list.d/trios.list)

Virt-vewer has no direct systemd dependencies…at least in TRIOS

@Dragan virt-viewer had a dependency on libvirt0, which was dependent on systemd.

Seems this is one of the packages you patched as part of the libvirt-bin fix, so its also fixed virt-viewer.

Thanks for the quick turn around.

Cheers,

Exactly… libvirt0 is part of libvirt source.

Hey guys, just a quick note, it seems that the libvirt-daemon-system package you’ve made is missing a few files:

/etc/default/libvirt-guests
/etc/default/libvirtd
/etc/init.d/libvirt-guests
/etc/init.d/libvirtd

I suspect thats because the systemd init stuff was removed, but nothing has been put back in place

Happy to provide config for these if you need them.

Cheers,

Thank you for reporting this error…really serious flaw.

@Dragan Wondering if you have any update on this one.

As I said, I’m happy to provide the init scripts if someone can help me with the packaging side

Havent had a lot of experience with packaging…

 

[Dragan]

Hi @spOOn
In the past several days I haven’t had much time so I did not do anything about it.
Thanks for the effort… here you can attach scripts (packed as tar.gz, or .zip…), and I’ll do the rest.

 

[_spOOn]

Missing files attached.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

Looks like these packages are still sitting in the “testing” repo.

Any reason why these can’t be moved to main?

Merry Christmas,

Cheers,

Merry Christmas to you too!
