weird systemd 245 issue

Hi,

ever since i upgraded to systemd-245 my journal is spammed with the following messages whenever any service is started:

Mar 20 00:15:46 hostname systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Set Up Additional Binary Formats being skipped.

Mar 20 00:15:48 hostname systemd[1]: Started A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server.

Does anyone else experience these issues? Looks like something is pulled in over and over again ...

Re: weird systemd 245 issue

Sorry guys, it was late yesterday ;-)

Here is a fully unredacted "journalctl -b" output. I have switched to StatusUnitFormat=name for better readability.

Gist

test.service looks like:

[Unit]
Description=Test Service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/echo "Test"

Edit:
basically everything that is not green in "systemctl list-dependencies sysinit.target" is pulled in over and over again every time a service starts.

Re: weird systemd 245 issue

Maybe an entropy issue?

Re: weird systemd 245 issue

Tried the additional kernel flag to trust CPU rdrand, no changes.

But what actually changes is how many services complain about conditions not met. Seems to vary between 6 and 14 services between different reboots.

I've just installed a vanilla Archlinux from scratch in virtualbox and the same thing happens there, too. Maybe this is an upstream issue?

Re: weird systemd 245 issue

Maybe this is an upstream issue?

I too saw this in one of my systemd-nspawn containers. I think this is a regression from 244 to 245. Unfortunately fixes can take weeks to months to sort out and trickle down.

My workaround was to pacstrap the container anew but with custom pacman.conf referencing "Server = https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2020/03/05/$repo/os/$arch" for core/extra/community as last day before 245 was introduced.

Probably best to open a ticket upstream on github.com.
