Package: multipath-tools
Version: 0.5.0+git1.656f8865-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
dpkg fails while upgrading multipath-tools. The errors look like this:
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/multipath-tools ...
Failed to start multipath-tools.service: Unit blk-availability.service
failed to load: No such file or directory.
invoke-rc.d: initscript multipath-tools, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing package multipath-tools (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 6
I've tried to look for a package containing the blk-availability.service
file but couldn't find one in any Debian release branch.

Please share the content of multipath-tools.service file.

My guess is that you are using the .service file from a different
source.

Thanks Michel. That indeed needs to be fixed.

But that made me wonder how my test box had a working multipath setup.

[ ok ] multipathd is running.
So it seems to be running....
root@debian-btrfs:~# which init
/sbin/init
root@debian-btrfs:~# dpkg -S /sbin/init
sysvinit-core: /sbin/init
And this is the reason why I didn't notice this bug.
So. I'll look into it soon (but it may take some time). Meanwhile, if
you have any suggestions/fixes/patches, please add them to this bug
report.
Thanks,
Ritesh

Okay. The issue may only be reproducible if you upgrade from the old
mulitpath (with no systemd support) to the new one, which is when
systemd will notice the missing dependency.
But even then, this should not be a failure during general operation.
But ofcourse, by breaking during installation/upgradation, it does
warrant an "important" severity.
The immediate fix should be to drop the blk-availability.service
because that may be something Fedora specific.
