Qubes OS release

R4.2

Brief summary

File /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d file exists and prevents daemons from (re-)starting during package upgrades.

Steps to reproduce

  1. install Qubes R4.2
  2. Install whonix-gw-16 template from qubes-templates-community-testing repository
  3. ls -la /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

Expected behavior

No such message and service restarted.

Actual behavior

During upgrades:

/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d returned 101, not running 'restart qubes-whonix-network.service qubes-whonix-postinit.service qubes-whonix-qubes-updates-proxy-enable-maybe.service qubes-whonix-redirect-9050.service qubes-whonix-redirect-9050.socket qubes-whonix-remote-support.service qubes-whonix-sysinit.service qubes-whonix-torified-updates-proxy-check.service'

Additional information

cat /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d

exit 101

Does Qubes builder or a Qubes package create file /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d?

Whonix doesn't create file /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d as this isn't needed and I highly discourage it.

A Qubes user reported message /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d returned 101, not running 'start qubes-qrexec-agent.service' here: https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/4-1beta-upgrade-stage1-errors/5227/4

Therefore this is most likely a general Qubes issue. Not caused by Whonix.

Affects Qubes-Whonix: yes

File /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d file exists and prevents daemons from (re-)starting during package upgrades.

It is meant to exist only during template build, and should be removed at the end. I just checked official debian-12 template and indeed the file is left there, so something went wrong during the build.

The PR above seems to fix it for builderv2.

Will this be applied when building new templates?
(Planning to build new Qubes-Whonix templates today.)

Should this be fixed in already uploaded templates?

New templates will have the fix included. Existing templates will not be fixed.
