$network should be removed from /etc/init.d/quagga

[YAMAMOTO Hirotaka]

The current rc script for quagga has "$network" as:

    /etc/init.d/quagga:# Required-Start: $local_fs $network $remote_fs $syslog
    /etc/init.d/quagga:# Required-Stop: $local_fs $network $remote_fs $syslog

systemd treats services having $network in their rc scripts just as having

    Wants=network-online.target
    After=network-online.target

Details are described in https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/

Since quagga is used to maintain network routing information, and network-online.target
is a target after which networking including routing is ready to use, /etc/init.d/quagga
should not contain "$network".

Please remove them.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Ubuntu doesn't currently have a delta against Debian on this package, and I've checked and they are using the same init.d file. I would prefer to defer to the Debian quagga maintainers to decide if your proposed change is correct. So this bug needs forwarding to Debian. If you do so, please link to the Debian bug report here.

I don't expect any action on this bug in Ubuntu without a bug report in Debian being filed.

Additionally it looks like quagga is orphaned in Debian, so we might need someone to take that up first.

Importance -> Medium, since a workaround is available (edit /etc/init.d/quagga locally).

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Pondering this further, given that it is orphaned and quagga is in main in Xenial, perhaps we should take on a delta on this.

Hi, thank you for information.

I forwarded this report as:

Debian has fixed this in 1.1.0-1 and 17.04 has 1.1.0-2.

We will need to consider for SRU separately.

Hi,

doing some clearance I find this old bug.

Xenial is now in Extended Security Maintenance and this bug doesn't qualify for it, so the bugfix won't be SRUed there.

Trusty reached EOL (End of life) so I'm afraid it can't be fixed. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however, there appears to be no further action possible at this time.
