RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: systemd-219-21.el7
Doc Type: Technology Preview
Doc Text:
.The `systemd-importd` VM and container image import and export service Latest `systemd` version now contains the `systemd-importd` daemon that was not enabled in the earlier build, which caused the `machinectl pull-*` commands to fail. Note that the `systemd-importd` daemon is offered as a Technology Preview and should not be considered stable.

Description Neil Wilson 2015-11-24 15:14:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

The 219 version of systemd doesn't seem to be building 'systemd-importd'. That causes machinectl commands to fail with a somewhat cryptic error message.

sudo machinectl pull-raw https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/wily/current/wily-server-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.xz ubuntu-test
Failed pull image: The name org.freedesktop.import1 was not provided by any .service files


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd 219.9.el7

How reproducible:

run a machinectl pull command as above.
Comment 1 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-11-24 15:27:48 UTC 
Hmm, we should drop the pull keyword from machinectl.
Unfortunatelly we can't have importd there, because it is using a newer version of libcurl.
Comment 2 Neil Wilson 2015-11-24 17:40:29 UTC 
That's interesting, because according to the systemd configure.ac there is no version restriction on libcurl

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBCURL, [libcurl],
                [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBCURL, 1, [Define if libcurl is available]) have_libcurl=yes], have_libcurl=no)

Yet there are version checks on a lot of the other libraries. 

Does it simply not work with the libcurl in RHEL7?
Comment 3 Lukáš Nykrýn 2015-11-25 06:40:57 UTC 
Yeah, that is an upstream bug. To be honest I was going to send a patch regarding that, but I forgot.
Comment 5 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-04-06 13:43:19 UTC 
Or plan B. It looks that downstream patch which would make the importd to work with our version of curl is pretty trivial.

https://github.com/lnykryn/systemd-rhel/commit/521f96ca430be11ef198f75e5a4f6aca0bee161b
Comment 6 Branislav Blaškovič 2016-05-16 08:36:48 UTC 
Plan B looks fine, just we need to make sure we can support this with our version of libcurl for long time.

I hope there will not be issues that upstream will bring some changes which would not work with our libcurl (even with this patch).
Comment 7 Lukáš Nykrýn 2016-05-16 08:42:36 UTC 
Just for record, the change regarding curl was using 
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION.html
instead of new
https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION.html
