How to move fresh Debian to systemd with Ansible?

[anatoly techtonik]

Hi,

apt-get once again too demanding. Trying to move to systemd is

presented with a warning that you can not escape from command

line:

$ apt-get install -y -qq --force-yes systemd-sysv

You are about to do something potentially harmful.

To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

 ?]

This becomes a problem with Ansible and it hangs forever. Is there

a way to get past this message and still do the changes?

[Maciej Delmanowski]

Maybe this will work?

- shell: yes "Yes, do as I say!" | apt-get -y -qq --force-yes apt-get install systemd-sysv

​Are you sure you want to automate this kind of upgrades?​

Sounds like an anti-pattern to me.

Yes. Not this kind, but this specific.upgrade.

Looks like this worked. Thanks.

systemd-sysv

Did the apt module in Ansible also balk? 

We pass in a lot of parameters to it already to make it be automated, if more are needed, I'm open to it.

Yep. Balked.

I am not sure. Systemd is quite an exceptional case and it is already
recorded in web
history.

I'm thinking the question comes from the package's preinstall script rather than from apt-get.  Are you sure there is no preseed parameter you can use to answer the question?

considering the question I expect sirens, skull banners and 3 guys on a pulpit announcing the end of the world. Changing your init system is as traumatic as a new kernel and/or new libc.

I am not an expert. so I listed all parameters I could get. Anyway, piping
"Yes, do as I say!" phrase did help.
