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
