Version 1.36 on Ubuntu does not include systemd tmpfiles.d

[andrewheberle]

The Ubuntu 20.04 package (I haven't reviewed others) does not seem to include the systemd tmpfiles config that in previous versions was located at /ust/lib/tmpfiles.d/zoneminder.conf

This means required files in /run are not created on boot.

I have also lodged this as an issue on Github as this looks like a bug to me: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/issues/3258

I'm not sure this is actually true. I suspect it is some issue with your system.

apt-file zoneminder shows it listed for me.

Also I think we would be hearing more complaints.

I’ve tried an install on an Ununtu 20.04 container multiple times and a completely new VM today with the same results.

I’m a bit confused too to be honest as I’m sure you are correct that this would be causing a bunch of reports so I’d love to know under what situation the file is not installed.

Here is some output from my testing today:

Okay now I'm really confused.

apt-file show zoneminder | grep tmpfiles lists it, but you are right dpkg --listfiles zoneminder doesn't. Also dpkg --contents ./zoneminder_1.36.0-focal1_amd64.deb doesn't list it.

So I think you are definitely on to something.

[iconnor]

bionic packages have it.

Our build files for focal and up have zoneminder.tmpfiles instead of zoneminder.tmpfile. I think the latter is what it should be.

New packages and a new release should be out by tonight.

[andrewheberle]

That change in the newly released packages seems to fix that no worries.

Thanks!
