calling init.d script with "status" invokes pager

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=e308302dc

Hello Martin, or anyone else affected,

Accepted systemd into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/229-4ubuntu5 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 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 to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

I have systemd 229-4ubuntu5 from xenial-proposed installed, and "/etc/init.d/networking status" now does not invoke a pager any more.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-4ubuntu5

---------------
systemd (229-4ubuntu5) xenial-proposed; urgency=medium

  * debian/udev.postinst: Don't fail if /var/log/udev is a directory.
    (LP: #1574004)
  * Set MAC based name for USB network interfaces only for universally
    administered (i. e. stable) MACs, not for locally administered (i. e.
    randomly generated) ones. Drop /lib/systemd/network/90-mac-for-usb.link
    (as link files don't currently support globs for MACAddress=) and replace
    with an udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/73-special-net-names.rules.
    (Closes: #812575, LP: #1574483)
  * debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Invoke status command with
    --no-pager, to avoid blocking scripts that call an init.d script with
    "status" with an unexpected pager process. (Closes: #765175, LP: #1576409)
  * Add debian/extra/rules/70-debian-uaccess.rules: Make FIDO U2F dongles
    accessible to the user session. This avoids having to install libu2f-host0
    (which isn't discoverable at all) to make those devices work.
    (LP: #1387908)
  * On shutdown, unmount /tmp before disabling swap. (Closes: #788303)

The verification of the Stable Release Update for systemd has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

This bug was fixed in the package systemd - 229-6ubuntu1

---------------
systemd (229-6ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - Hack to support system-image read-only /etc, and modify files in
      /etc/writable/ instead.

systemd (229-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * systemd-container: Prefer renamed "btrfs-progs" package name over
    "btrfs-tools". (Closes: #822629)
  * systemd-container: Recommend libnss-mymachines. (Closes: #822615)
  * Drop systemd-dbg, in favor of debhelpers' automatic -dbgsym packages.
  * Drop Add-targets-for-compatibility-with-Debian-insserv-sy.patch; we don't
    need $x-display-manager any more as most/all DMs ship native services, and
    $mail-transport-agent is not widely used (not even by our default MTA
    exim4).
  * Unify our two patches for Debian specific configuration files.
  * Drop udev-re-enable-mount-propagation-for-udevd.patch, i. e. run udevd in
    its own slave mount name space again. laptop-mode-tools 1.68 fixed the
    original bug (#762018), thus add a Breaks: to earlier versions.
  * Ship fbdev-blacklist.conf in /lib/modprobe.d/ instead of /etc/modprobe.d/;
    remove the conffile on upgrades.
  * Replace util-Add-hidden-suffixes-for-ucf.patch with patch that got
    committed upstream.
  * Replace Stop-syslog.socket-when-entering-emergency-mode.patch with patch
    that got committed upstream.
  * debian/udev.README.Debian: Adjust documentation of MAC based naming for
    USB network cards to the udev rule, where this was moved to in 229-5.
  * debian/extra/init-functions.d/40-systemd: Invoke status command with
    --no-pager, to avoid blocking scripts that call an init.d script with
    "status" with an unexpected pager process. (Closes: #765175, LP: #1576409)
  * Add debian/extra/rules/70-debian-uaccess.rules: Make FIDO U2F dongles
    accessible to the user session. This avoids having to install libu2f-host0
    (which isn't discoverable at all) to make those devices work.
    (LP: #1387908)
  * libnss-resolve: Enable systemd-resolved.service on package installation,
    as this package makes little sense without resolved.
  * Add a DHCP exit hook for pushing received NTP servers into timesyncd.
    (LP: #1578663)
  * debian/udev.postinst: Fix migration check from the old persistent-net
    generator to not apply to chroots. (Closes: #813141)
  * Revert "enable TasksMax= for all services by default, and set it to 512".
    Introducing a default limit on number of threads broke a lot of software
    which regularly needs more, such as MySQL and RabbitMQ, or services that
    spawn off an indefinite number of subtasks that are not in a scope, like
    LXC or cron. 512 is way too much for most "simple" services, and it's way
    too little for the ones mentioned above. Effective (and much stricter)
    limits should instead be put into units individually.
    (Closes: #823530, LP: #1578080)
  * Split out udev rule to name USB network interfaces by MAC address into
    73-usb-net-by-mac.rules, so that it's easier to disable. (Closes: #824025)
  * 73-usb-net-by-mac.rules: Disable when net.ifnames=0 is specified on the
    kernel comm...
