Bug Description

[Impact]
systemd used to pre-depend on the libraries used by systemctl or something, but now systemctl uses libsystemd-shared, and there are no pre-depends for that, meaning that systemctl fails in maintainer scripts of other packages.

[Test case]
Grab the apt-clone file from comment #20 in bug 1766890, and upgrade it to bionic with apt dist-upgrade -o APT::Immediate-Configure=0. Make sure to not see error about missing libraries in systemctl.

[Regression potential]
Installation ordering changes. Might make things harder for apt to solve.

[Other info]

Hello Julian, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/237-3ubuntu10.1 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 and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. 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!

Ran the dist-upgrade:

with bionic, bionic-updates:

Unpacking bluez (5.48-0ubuntu3) over (5.37-0ubuntu5.1) ...
systemctl: error while loading shared libraries: libcryptsetup.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

with bionic, bionic-updates, bionic-proposed (pinned to only allow src:systemd packages) it works fine. Well, it hangs in my container, but that might be a container thingy.

This is in 237-3ubuntu10.2 thus still correctly listing the new ABIs of all the libsystemd0 libraries.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 237-3ubuntu10.2

---------------
systemd (237-3ubuntu10.2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * logind: backport v238/v239 fixes for handling DRM devices.
    These changes introduce all the fixes that correct handling of open fd's
    related to the DRM devices, as used by for example NVIDIA GPUs. This backport
    includes some refactoring, corrections, and comment updates. This to insure
    that correct history is preserved, code comments match reality, and to ease
    backporting logind fixes in the future SRUs. (LP: #1777099)
  * Disable dh_installinit generation of tmpfiles for the systemd package.
    Replace with a manual safe call to systemd-tmpfiles which will process any
    updates to the tmpfiles shipped by systemd package, taking into account any
    overrides shipped by other packages, sysadmin, or specified in the runtime
    directories. (LP: #1748147)

systemd (237-3ubuntu10.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  [ Dimitri John Ledkov ]
  * hwdb: Fix wlan/rfkill keycode on Dell systems. (LP: #1762385)
  * Cherrypick upstream fix for corrected detection of Virtualbox & Xen.
    (LP: #1768104)
  * Further improve captive portal workarounds.
    Retry any NXDOMAIN results with lower feature levels, instead of just those
    with 'secure' in the domain name. (LP: #1766969)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Add dependencies of libsystemd-shared to Pre-Depends.
    This is necessary so systemctl is functional at all times during a
    dist-upgrade. (Closes: #897986) (LP: #1771791)

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Fix hibernate disk offsets.
    Configure resume offset via sysfs, to enable resume from a swapfile.
    (LP: #1760106)
