Can you attach the output from running the command

journalctl -xe

thanks.

[Ate Siemensma (atesiemensma)]

I cannot reproduce this bug anymore.
i propose to close it

[Erik Elfgren (erielf)]

This bug appears every time I upgrade. I'm using zfs exclusively.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

@Erik, can you provide a full list of packages that you have installed so we can figure this one out?

apt list --installed

Thanks.

[Colin Ian King (colin-king)]

@Erik, if you can't provide any information we can't easily proceed in reproducing this issue. Is it possible to provide the information as requested in comment #5? If not, I shall close this bug in 2 weeks time.
