systemd-fsckd test fails on groovy checking plymouth-start isactive

[Dan Streetman]

[impact]

systemd-fsckd test fails on groovy because plymouth-start service is active

[test case]

check autopkgtest logs of systemd-fsckd test case on groovy

[regression potential]

incorrectly passed, or failed, systemd-fsckd test

[scope]

this is needed only for groovy.

the plymouth-start.service did not include RemainAfterExit=true before groovy, so the service is expected to be inactive when checked by the test before groovy. this is already fixed in hirsute:

Hello Dan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/246.6-1ubuntu1.1 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-groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-groovy. 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.
