Ubuntu
apache2 package

modified apache2.service overwritten on package update without notification

Asked by sven on 2019-04-05

Hi,

On my system I modified the apache2.service from:
 PrivateTmp=true
to:
 PrivateTmp=false

Yesterday I updated my apache2 and the apache2.service was modified to:
  PrivateTmp=true

without notification.

Is this supposed to happen and is it possible to prevent this behavior in the future?

Thank you and kind Regards,

Sven

All I can suggest is that you report a bug. If this is a production box then you could add a check to make sure this is set correctly and update as required as part of the process. Ideally it shouldn't happen but this workaround can help until the bug is resolved

OK, thanks for the advice. I filed a bug and close this FAQ.
